Changing Of Sony Music Mottola resigns after label; TV exec Andy

By Ron Rodrigues 13813 Editor -In -Chief ronr @radioandrecords. com

Sony Music Entertain- ment Chairman /CEO Tho- mas Mottola stepped down from his position last week. He will now devote his en- ergies to the formation of a new company that will serve both as a music label and a conduit between the music industry and other businesses. Just a day after Sony announced Mottola's plans, NBC President /COO Andrew Lack was appointed the new head of Sony Music.

With the music industry facing the biggest financial and technological challenges it's ever seen, Lack's appointment was widely perceived by industry ob- servers as Sony's attempt to inject an outside perspective into the business.

IN MEMORIAM

Maurice Gibb, Bee Gees Co- Founder, Dies At 53 By Adam Jacobson RER Radio Editor

aiacobsonkadioandrecc -ds corn

Maurice Gibb, one -third of legendary pop act The Bee Gees, died Jan. 12 at a Miami Beach hospital after undergoing emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. He was 53.

Gibb, who lived in Miami Beach,

was admitted to Mount Sinai Hos- vital on Jan. 9 after collapsing at his home. In a preliminary statement, hospital representatives said Gibb experienced stomach pains caused

y a strangulated hernia. Mount Sinai later declined to discuss the cause of Gibb's passing, citing pa- tient privacy.

However, brothers and bandmates Robin and Barry Gibb told BBC News that mistakes made by Mount Sinai surgeons may have caused Maurice Gibb's death. The hospital says it

will cooperate with Gibb family members in determin- ing the cause.

Maurice Gibb was born on England's Isle of Man on Dec. 22, 1949 and was the twin brother of Robin Gibb. The three brothers moved to Australia at an early age with their father, bandleader

Kaplan Adds OM Duties For WMAX & WPCH /Atlanta

Louis Kaplan, PD of '80s WMAX /Atlanta, has added OM duties for that station, as well as Clear Channel's Hot AC WPCH/ Atlanta. At the same time, WPCH PD Dave Dillon exits to rejoin his family in Houston.

"Louis' background in CHR, Hot AC and Classic Hits qualifies him as the perfect choice to re-engineer the former 'Peach' into a future powerhouse," Clear Channel /At- lanta Director /Programming Tim Dukes told R &R. WPCH recently jettisoned its longtime "Peach" moniker in favor of the more contemporary- sounding "94.9 Lite FM."

"Peach was left over from when the station had a Beautiful Music background, and continuing to use the Peach identity made it very difficult to get away from that image," Kaplan told R &R. "The station just launched a huge TV campaign to solidify its new Lite position.

"I'm inheriting a really good radio station. Dave did a great job, and the station sounds terrific. I believe the station is going to do very well. Plus, I now get to play James Taylor records for the first time in my career. Those who know me know that's a big thing."

FCC Faces Congressional Grilling Powell says he's troubled by Clear Channel's dominance By Joe Howard R&R Washington Bureau ihowardPrradioandrecords com

he FCC and Chairman Michael Powell kicked off the new year by facing off with some of the agency's harshest critics as the commissioners fielded questions from the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science &

Transportation about the state of the communications industry. Not surprisingly, ample attention - much of it critical - was paid to the FCC's ongoing review of its media -ownership rules.

Reiterating concerns he has expressed previously, Sen. Ron Wy- den warned that if ownership lim its are loosened too much, one company might rise to control most, if not all, of the nation's media outlets. Wyden challenged Powell on whether the FCC Chair- man would support a policy that could allow that to happen.

Powell called the question "worthy of debate" but said consolidation can go only so far. "Can- didly, I don't believe anything coming out of the commission's decisions could result in the ability of one person to own everything," he said, pointing out that anti -trust laws and the FCC's own

public- interest standard would block a single company from seiz- ing control of the nation's media.

Nonetheless, in response to a

direct question from Wyden con- cerning Clear Channel Communi- cations, Powell admitted that he is "troubled" by Clear Channel's dominance in the radio industry. He said, however, that it was congressional deregulation, not the FCC, that allowed the company to gobble up so many stations.

"We're often criticized as the in- stitution that did that," he said, "but much of that deregulation is a consequence of ]the Telecommu- nications Act]." Sen. John McCain acknowledged later in the session

that the Telecom Act could account for consolidation in the radio industry.

Powell was also quick to note that, although consolidation was a primary focus of the last two commissions, his is the lone panel to have attempted to stem the tide. He noted, "The commission, under my leadership, has moved to block a number of radio transactions, and previous commissions never moved to block a single one."

Indeed, on I'owell's watch a

number of proposed radio sales, including a handful of Clear Chan- nel purchases, have been designated for hearing by the FCC - something that hadn't been done since the late 1960s. "I am concerned about concentration," Powell said, "particularly in radio."

During the session Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota be- moaned the fact that of the 31 corn - mercial stations in his state's four

Viacom Chief Optimistic About Further Deregulation By Adam Jacobson 14813 Radio Editor aÍacobson ®radioandrecords corn

ndustry heavyweights last week enjoyed the balmy weather while talking shop in La Quinta, CA, a golf resort southwest of Palm Springs. Some executives may have spent some time on the links, but most devoted their time to serious business discussion at the Salomon Smith Barney Global Media, Entertainment & Telecommunications Conference, and some provided definitive outlooks on the radio business in the coming year.

Viacom Chairman /CEO Sum- ner Redstone expressed tremendous optimism about further deregulation of the industry, saying, "I do not need to tell this audience what the next round of deregulation could mean for this industry in terms of further constructive consolidation, increased operating efficiencies and dramatic appreci- ation in the value of media stocks."

He reminded those on hand how the Telecommunications Act "transformed radio overnight" and added, "The 1996 deregulation of local radio ownership has had no untoward effects on either competition or diversity in radio markets. Let's hope the [FCC under Chairman Michael Powell]

stays on track and gets the deregulation job done."

At another session, Cox Radio CEO Bob Neil said radio revenue has stabilized but cautioned that visibility remains limited, because advertisers still have a tendency to make last -minute buying decisions. "We're continuing to see what I would consider a slow, se- quential improvement in the revenue condition," he said. "We have seen more dollars added into a month after we've gone into the month than we have since I've been in the business, and that trend is continuing. It's still a bit of a buyer's market out there, but prices and costs per point have firmed, particularly in the third and fourth quarters."

Neil also took time out at the Salomon Smith Barney affair to give a tongue -lashing to satellite radio. He expressed his doubts that XM and Sirius investors will ever see returns and said of the satcasters, "I really can't see how their model ever works."

Neil questioned how either company will be able to pay back "the enormous amount of capital that they've already been able - amazingly to me - to attract from people," but noted, "Although, once people get in, they almost have no choice but to try to save it." He also said he believes there is no "brand niche" for satellite radio and said the lack of a local advertising stream will hurt the satcasters.

Others making headlines at the Salomon Smith Barney conference were Clear Channel CFO Randall Mays, who said Jan. 9 that he believes ownership limits are irratio- nal, and Entravision Chairman/ CEO Walter Ulloa, who discussed his company's purchase of Big City Radio's Los Angeles cluster (see Business Briefs for more details).

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Entravision Set To Sell Two - Thirds

Of `Viva' Trimulcast Speaking at last week's Salomon Smith Barney Global Entertainment,

Media & Telecommunications Conference, Entravision Communi-

cations Chairman /CEO Walter Ulloa said his company will probably di-

vest KSYY /Fallbrook, CA and KVYYNentura, CA, two of the signals that

comprise the Southern California "Viva 107.1" trimulcast Entravision is

purchasing from Big City for $137 million. "We think there is $10 million

in value there," Ulloa said. Funds from the sale would be used to offset

the cost of planned format launches at KSSE/Riverside and simulcast

partners KSSC /Santa Monica, CA and KSSD /Newport Beach, CA, all

of which now air the Spanish Contemporary "Super Estrella" format.

Ulloa also confirmed that the Super Estrella programming will move

to the third station in the Viva trio, KLYY /Arcadia -Los Angeles, no later

than early February -a shift he said will be easy because Viva and

Super Estrella air nearly identical formats. Ulloa predicted that Super

Estrella will have a 2.0 share 12+ in L.A. within 12 months of the move

to KLYY and forecast 1.0 shares for KSSE and KSSC & KSSD by the

start of 2004. Also at the Salomon Smith Barney Conference, Ulloa said that the

Big City /Los Angeles assets Entravision is purchasing have been being

run by a `troubled" operation. 'They haven't been a good competitor,"

he said of Big City. He added that Entravision had been looking into buy-

ing the Viva 107.1 trimulcast for quite some time as a "stick acquisition" - that is, with no intention of retaining the Viva programming.

Clear Channel/L.A. To Consolidate Operations

Clear Channel Communications/Los Angeles has inked a $45 mil-

lion, 12 -year deal with real estate company M. David Paul Associ-

ates for space at the Pinnacle, a recently completed office building and

retail complex in Burbank, CA. The Los Angeles Times reported that all

eight Clear ChanneVL.A. stations will move into the building in 2004, when

construction of 40 radio studios in the complex has been completed.

Other Pinnacle tenants include Warner Music Group and NBC Enter-

prises. In other news from Clear Channel, the company has made a deal

with Washington, DC -based wireless company InPhonic that will enable

WAKS, WGAR, WMMS, WMJI, WMVX & WTAM /Cleveland to send tar-

geted text messages to listeners' cell phones. Listeners can subscribe

to the free service, expected to launch in 01, by visiting any of the six

stations' websites. CC /Cleveland will use the service to offer listeners

the opportunity to enter contests, receive news and sports alerts and

buy concert tickets before they go on sale to the public. Those whose

phones can't accept text messaging can even sign up at station sites to

get free short- messaging -capable phones.

RAB To Honor Regent's Stakelin

I n recognition of his dedication to and leadership in the radio industry,

Regent Communications President/COO Bill Stakelin will receive the

RAB's Kevin B. Sweeney Award at RAB2003 later this month. Stakelin

has been in radio for his entire professional life, having begun his ca-

reer at age 14 in Georgetown, KY. After 17 years with Bluegrass Broad-

cast, he became President/CEO of the RAB in 1983. In 1988 he founded

Apollo Radio, which in 1994 merged with Regent with Stakelin as Exec.

VP /COO. In 1997 Regent was sold to Jacor Communications, after which

Stakelin founded Regent II Communications with partner Terry Jacobs.

Stakelin currently represents New York and New Jersey on the NAB

board of directors and has also served as Radio Chairman and Joint

Board Chairman for the NAB. In other news from RAB2003, renowned speaker Les Brown will de-

liver a keynote address titled "Achieving at the Next Level" on Jan. 31.

The RAB says the speech will teach sellers and managers to avoid com-

mon pitfalls and achieve their utmost revenue -generating potential. The

RAB Radio Sales, Management & Leadership Conference will be held

Jan. 30 -Feb. 2 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans.

Radio One, Comcast To Launch New Cable Network

adio One President/CEO Alfred Liggins finally got his wish. For some time, Liggins has expressed an interest in launching an African- American -focused cable network to complement Black Entertainment Televi- sion, and this week Radio One announced that it will team with Comcast to start an as -yet- unnamed venture that will feature entertainment, news, opinion and sports programming targeted primarily to 25-54 -year- old African -American viewers. The network is expected to debut later this year.

Under the terms of the joint venture, Radio One will make a direct cash investment not expected to exceed $70 million over four years, while Comcast and other parties will invest another $60 million over four years. Radio One will also provide radio ad time over several years in exchange for an additional equity interest in the cable network, for which Liggins will serve as Chairman.

Radio One expects that its fully diluted ownership interest in the network will be less than 40 %, while Comcast will receive a like - sized equity interest for commit- ting both financing and a substan- tial number of subscribers from its many cable systems. Comcast said its systems serve 21 of the top 25 U.S. markets, reaching 50% of the nation's African- American population.

Radio One Exec. VP / CFO Scott Royster explained to R &R that Ra- dio One and Comcast will ultimately have equal shares in the venture: While Radio One is putting up more cash and will get management fees and an additional ownership share for the radio advertising it provides, the significant value of access to Comcast's cable subscribers puts the two companies on a level.

While he's long felt that African Americans are being underserved by cable TV, Liggins said his new network will complement, not challenge, BET. "We believe this service is going to be very different from BET," he said during a conference call held to discuss the

network, adding that his marketing strategy is to offer what's not already being offered. "This marketplace can support more than one good idea."

Liggins stressed that the cable network won't distract him from Radio One's bread -and -butter radio business. "I expect to spend the vast majority of my time focusing on Radio One business," he said, "as this network will have a standalone management team."

But Liggins said he will spend some time in the network's early days "shaping the vision and getting the team put together." Com- cast President / CEO Brian Roberts said, "The actual implementation of making it work is going to fall back to the new management team we're going to hire."

Morgan Stanley analyst Micha- el Russell called the cable venture "a modest positive" for Radio One, saying that most investors had feared a larger financial commitment to cable and a larger degree of management distraction than are involved in Radio One's plans with Comcast.

With the cable investment, Rus- sell now expects Radio One to experience a $15 million loss in 2003, followed by losses of $20 million in both 2004 and 2005 and $15 million in 2006. However, he said those estimates are preliminary and will likely change as more details are provided.

In addition to the cable network, Radio One announced a radio -station purchase this week and updated its Q4 guidance. hi fact, Ra-

dio One and the K -Love Radio Network double- teamed to grab some troubled stations in Dayton. In mid -November 2002 a judge ordered Hawes- Saunders Broad- cast Properties, which filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 4, to place its WRNB & WROU / Dayton in trust until a buyer could be found.

Subject to the approval of the bankruptcy court, Radio One will acquire Urban WROU for $9.5 million in a move that gives the company a solid complement for its CHR /Rhythmic WDHT /Day- ton. (Radio One ups its station count to five in Dayton with the deal). Meanwhile, Sacramento - based religious broadcaster K- Love Radio Network got Urban AC WRNB for $1.2 million. WRNB will be K -Love's first Ohio property.

W. Lawrence Patrick, the court - appointed trustee of the Hawes - Saunders stations who is also serving as their interim GM, is expected to present Radio One's offer for WROU at a U.S. Bankruptcy Court hearing set for Feb. 10, the Dayton Daily News reported. The newspaper also reported that Ra- dio One could begin operating WROU via an LMA as soon as Feb. 11.

Meanwhile, Radio One reaf- firmed the Q4 guidance it fur- nished with its Q3 numbers a few months ago, saying net revenue will increase at least 13% over Q4 2001. Q4 earnings are expected in the first half of February. Radio One added that its January out- look appears solid and is pacing in the high single digits to low double digits, pointing out that national is outperforming local.

largest cities, 13 - including, in one market, all six commercial stations - are owned by the same company. He said, "The fact is, we're heading in exactly the wrong direction. In these areas, you need to have your foot on the brake, not your hand on the throt- tle. Unless changes are made, we're heading for a train wreck."

FCC Commissioner Kevin Mar- tin said some of the responsibility for consolidation can be attribut- ed to the FCC's method of defin- ing radio markets. He said the FCC's approach, under examina- tion in the media -ownership review, may have led to some markets' "being treated as larger than they really are." Powell agreed with Martin's assessment.

Meanwhile, Sen. Trent Lott said that ensuring that local news and information don't fall by the way-

side is critically important as the FCC considers changing its ownership rules -a point on which Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein shared Lott's concern.

In fact, Adelstein took the opportunity to support Commission- er Michael Copps' efforts to hold field hearings across the country to hear from a broad sample of those most affected by the media -ownership rules. "We need to reach out to Americans and hear what they have to say in every part of the country," Adelstein said. "We need to stick to the traditional hall- marks of diversity of voices, local- ism and competition."

Commissioner Kathleen Aber- nathy said that whatever action the FCC takes will be guided by those principles, noting that the commission is acutely aware of the importance of the rules review. She pointed out that the FCC has already received more than 2,000 comments in the proceeding and

has commissioned six studies of the media landscape to help support its decisionmaking. For his part, Copps said there is nothing as important as the rules review on the commission's agenda.

Amid all the debate, Lott suggested that there may be room for compromise between the FCC and Congress, suggesting that the Tele-

com Act could stand some tinker- ing. "As we move forward," Lott said, "I think we as a Congress and you as a regulatory body should work together. We may need to tweak the law some. That's not to say we tilt it one way or the other, but we passed it in 1996. My good- ness, the world has changed so much in this area."

He continued, "I hope that you will seriously think about that and maybe be prepared to talk with us, either privately or in subsequent hearings, about what we might need to do in the future to review that law."

Industry X -Ray: Restaurants Don't let competitors eat your lunch in this major revenue category

Few businesses serve up as many advertising dollars as restaurants, which dish out an appetizing $975 million in radio revenues annually. CMR ranks the restaurant category sixth in the food chain of the top 30 national network and spot radio segments. The complete 2002 figures are still in the oven, but 2001's figures reflect more than $143 million in radio business in the top 100 markets alone. The RAB reports some of radio's biggest- spending brands are in this category, including Burger King, Denny's, Red Lobster and McDonald's.

If you're hungry for more ad dollars, you'll find a smorgasbord of useful facts and figures to chew on with this X -Ray. But bear in mind that many national advertisers, such as McDonald's, place the majority of their radio advertising directly with stations, not through a network or spot rep firm. Direct spending by these companies substantially ex- ceeds the amounts listed in the various box scores.

Leading Cities For Restaurant Business

Below are the Media Audit's top -indexing cities where 18+ adults went to sit -down restaurants at least four times in the past two weeks. Nearly all are in the South, which Simmons reports has more than twice as many adults dining out as any other region where adults ate at a family restaurant or steakhouse 10 times or more in

the past month. Not surprisingly, the list leans toward popular retire- ment commurities, college towns and vacation destinations, with Florida captunng eight of the top 20. Unless your food is a lot better than Mom's, don't open a restaurant in Spokane, which indexes at 46.

With an estimated 137 visits annually, Americans on average spend almost half of their food dollars on restaurants and other food -service venues, forking over $846 per year. Nearly everyone goes out to eat at ,east a few times a month, and al-

most 17% eat out at least twice a

week. The battle for the belly is drawn mostly along economic lines:

The more people make, the more :hev make reservations.

Each week radio consistently reaches over 90% of the dining -out population, whether they go to burger joints, coffeehouses or steak- houses. Birthdays, Mother's Day =nd the upcoming Valentine's Day Are the three most popular occasions for eating out, with dinner traffic Accounting for 52% of overall business on those days, followed by lunch (37 %) and breakfast (11 %).

Sandwich restaurants sell over half of all meals purchased away from home, while fish, steak and chicken are the casual diner's favor-

Restaurant Seeding & Selling Points

Feed those midwinter blues. January and February are

traditionally the slowest months for full- service restaurants. With the

economy and competition cited by restaurants as their top business

concerns, you may find more ears receptive to your pitch right now.

Corner the caffeine community. Alternative, CHR/Pop, Smooth Jazz, Classical and News/Talk stations should be pitching coffeehouse business with a vengeance. These businesses don't attract so much a

"young and affluent" mix as "young or affluent" customers. Although

coffeehouses do much better with high- income households (hence the

high indexes with Smooth Jazz and News/Talk listeners), they also index strongly with those on much tighter incomes, including part-time

workers, singles and younger demos, such as college students. These consumers appear to be more likely to use their dining -out dollars at

these stores than at most other restaurants. One can also see

evidence of the "Starbucks as community" branding position's appeal to

younger demos in the chain's higher traffic from renters - in many cases, singles and young couples with few or no children.

The kids are all right. Stations that index well with family

households should obviously reach out to gain business from fast -food and casual restaurants, toward which the typical consumer's dining patterns shift radically once a child comes into the home. Next on the

target list should be Mexican and Chinese restaurants, as these mostly affordable businesses index much higher with families than do other types of restaurant groups. Top kids' favorites (regardless of restaurant

category, in order): french fries, chicken, ice cream, burgers and pasta. Try the 7pm- midnight special. Yankelovich Partners says 16%

of Americans like to eat dinner at 8pm or later, and 11% make the

decision to go out the night before. And, according to the Media Audit,

7pm- midnight is tied with afternoon drive as the highest- indexing

listening daypart (110) among those who eat at sit -down restaurants

frequently. Evening avails can be an affordable and effective way for advertisers to use your station to reach prospective customers.

Know the turn -ons and turn -offs. Most adults like a restaurant where they can hold quiet conversations. Their top considerations are

fresh food that tastes great, attentive service, a good value and menu variety. The No. 1 complaint: disappearing waitstaff, followed by vain or

disrespectful servers, cold food and fellow patrons with cell phones.

Making patrons wait more than 10 minutes for a weeknight table is also

a problem. Top meal motivators. When pitching restaurants and cooking up

hot copy, bear in mind that the most likely reason you'll find people

going out is to have a fun evening with friends (18.7 %), followed by

routine weekend dining (14.6 %), a special occasion (13.2 %), lunch with

a co- worker or friend (12.4 %), didn't want to cook (10.9 %), food

cravings (7.5 %), date or romantic occasion (5.0 %) and other or don't know (17.7 %). Two useful facts about what frustrates consumers about lunch options: Boredom with the same old choices and the inability to

find healthy options each frustrate 29% of diners. Less than 10% of

casual- dining customers take advantage of limited -time promotions,

while nearly half of upscale restaurants allow online reservations (useful links for your station website).

Look for openings from fast -growing chains. Sniffing for the aroma of new business? The top 10 growth chains for 2000, up 40% or

more, were, in order, Bahama Breeze, Buca di Beppo, Panera Bread/ St. Louis Bread Co., Jamba Juice, Famous Dave's, P.F. Chang's, Baja

Fresh, Quizno's, Copeland's and Rubio's Baja Grill.

Recruiting: It's what's for dinner. For restaurant operators, the

top operational challenges in 2003 will be recruiting and retaining

employees. Use your stations ability to reach potential applicants who

already have jobs; radio can reach people at work better than the Internet or newspapers.

The link between frequent dining out and frequent radio use. TV salespeople may tell prospects to "show the sizzle," but Media Audit

research says that people who are serious diners (four or more sit -

down visits in the past two weeks) are heavier users of radio (index 105) than they are of television (89). Since outdoor indexes highest (127), it can make sense to target billboard- buying restaurants to create extra impressions with in -car listeners.

Lifestyles of the rich and hungry. The Media Audit reports that those who drive a luxury imported car, such as a Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus, Jaguar or BMW, are twice as likely as the general population to have dined at a sit -down restaurant four or more times in the past two weeks. Those who also index 150 or higher among this elite food group are those who fly at least three times per year, drink wine regularly, shop jewelry stores, make $75,000 annually, plan to buy a car or home in the next 24 months, make five or more online purchases each year

and like snow skiing and golf. If you have NTR events involving these activities, restaurant tie -ins are naturals.

MANAGEMENT MARKETING SALES

Put Your Cume To Work By Walter Sabo

Legendary programmer Mike Phillips always says, "I would rather try to get four people to listen for 15 minutes than one person to listen for an hour."

The prime indicator of average quarter -hour rank is not time- spent- listening rank. Do a rank- er of your market, and you'll see that there is no mathematical relationship between TSL rank and AQH rank, but there's a

direct relationship between cume rank and AQH rank.

For many years managers have been conned by this ridiculous notion: "Rather than spending money on marketing, let's get our existing cume to listen longer." The logic has a certain sexy appeal to a math -brained, bottom -line- pressured GM. Eliminate the "negatives," and people will listen to your station longer.

That's elegant but desperately flawed thinking. This theory has re- sulted in the elimination of elements that made stations interesting and textured and :: ve them franchise value - that is, elements that cost a

few bucks. Remember, you cannot beat the 7-

Eleven. Once a person arrives at the 7- Eleven, they will turn off the radio and get out of the car. You can't make people listen to the radio longer.

In a weekly diary system, your me is gone every seven days. A

bigger problem is that an Arbitron diary can't really measure TSL or listening. It measures memory. Unaided recall. The more space a station's brand name has in the diary - keeper's memory, the more space the station gets on the diary page.

Memory space is captured in two ways: 1) impressions resulting from listening to a station; and 2) impressions generated by

arketing for that station. Yes, it ould be possible, in a diary mea-

1 rement, to be No. 1 but, in fact, ave no one listening at all. Proof of

I at is how frequently daytimers ed to show up in ratings reports at pm. Arbitron's Portable People Meter

will show the true impact of come, as in, "Oh, my! We'd better get our time up."

1. Increase the frequency of service elements - weather, traffic, music news, concert news, etc. - and announce their existence. State what you're doing and the exact time you'll do it again. Yes, do it on a Rocker. MTV has news, right? Teach- ing the benchmarks of the station is important.

2. Shorten the playlist. A listener only gives X amount of time to radio. During that time they wart to hear the hits, and only the hits. Program to the reality of radio listening. If they listen an hour a day, program to that reality.

You and the sales department listen for eight hours, so the salespeople complain about repetition. If management is weak, the salespeople win and more songs are added. Result: Cume goes down this book, and AQH goes down next book. Tighten the list, and tell the sales department to raise the rates.

January 17, 2003 R &R 9

3. Prize of the moment The fastest way for a radio station to get word -of - mouth advertising - buzz - is by giving away the hottest prize for the target listener. At the moment, my favorite for guys is the Ford Thunderbird.

4. Assume no knowledge. The biggest mistake air personalities make is

assuming everyone knows everything they do and remembers what they did yesterday. The result is the effect of a dosed club. New listeners feel excluded. Act like every listener is brand -new.

To this day, David Letterman explains exactly what "Stupid Pet Tricks" is. He does not assume knowledge. If, after all these years, Letter- man still has to explain what "Stupid Pet Tricks" is, then you have to explain who "Big Joe" and "Samantha's Wild Gofer" are.

5. What city is this? Listeners expect radio to be live and local. Fact is,

the reason voicetracking is a viable option is that most breaks are not lo-

cal and not too lively. They are generic and lazy and fail to address the top - of- mind interests of the target listener. You just hear jock crap. But if listeners know that every time they tune to your station they will get a sense

of what's going on in the city and a

sense of urgency in the delivery of the information, they will feel compelled to check in with your station constantly.

WSRadio Finds Its Niche 'Net -only Talker trying out rookie talent, specialized programming

By Brida Connolly Associate Managing Editor

Last week WSRadio VP/Programming & New Show Development Lee Mirabal, a 37 -year radio vet and former nationally syndicated talk host, talked about WSRadio's tightly targeted programming strategy. This week she discusses the Internet -only Talk network's approach to talent recruitment and ad sales.

R &R: How do you recruit talent?

Do hosts come to you?

LM: At the beginning I cold - called people. One of our highest - rated shows is Pet Fish Talk -oh, my gosh, you have no idea. Tom and Nevin Bailey are brothers, and they own a fish hatchery. They supply more tropical fish to Wal -Mart than

any other company in the world, and they're these two wonderful men who are just these down -home,

honest guys. I called four or five different fish

places before I got them. I would say,

"Hi, this is Lee Mirabal with WSRa-

dio. We are going to be doing a pet fish show, and we're looking for a

host. Do you know anyone who would be interested ?"

When I got to these guys, one brother said to me, "My brother is

really the one with the charisma," and it ends up that the guy who told

me that really has the dry, wry sense of humor. These two guys know everything there is to know about raising tropical fish. Their show numbers went up and up and up, and pretty soon they had 30,000,

then 40,000, fans. This is amazing. Every day I come in here and I'm overwhelmed with the excitement of it all.

R &R: Is WSRadio's approach to

start slowly and build?

LM: We're doing it in a way that at least our hard costs are covered by what the hosts are paying us, and the rest becomes, hopefully, our for-

tunes. Every talk show host on this net-

work is doing it for a different rea-

son. There are some who are national speakers, and they're doing it as

an addition to their profile. Some people are doing it because, like the

Glass Show host, they just love their

subject. And some people are doing it to make money.

We are the voice of Entrepreneur

magazine, and that was a show we developed and took to the magazine. They liked it, and here we are.

Now we have four Entrepreneur magazine shows, all done here. We

develop them, from beginning to

end. We find the host, and if they haven't had experience - which 99'iß of them haven't - we train them, and there you go. It's very exciting.

R &R: Are the talents corning to you

now?

LM: Yes. In my e -mail every day there are people saying they're inter-

ested. You know, we get some of our hosts from their being guests on oth-

Some CC Streams Return With Hiwire Agreement

Most of Clear Channel Communications' 200 or so Internet

simulcasts went down earlier this month after a corporate policy

change put the costs of streaming on stations, but an agreement with

Hiwire has put webcasts in New York, Atlanta, Denver, Minneapolis

and other markets back online, at least for now. CC and Hiwire have

signed a 90 -day interim agreement that puts 45 of the about 150 AM

and FM streams that went down back online, with Hiwire covering

bandwidth costs and royalties as part of the deal. Other streams,

including those in Houston and San Jose, remain offline for now.

Key Court Rulings In Los Angeles

U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson ruled last week in Los Angeles

that peer -to -peer network KaZaa can be sued for copyright infringe-

ment in the U.S., despite its foreign ownership - parent company

Sharman Networks is Australian, and KaZaa itself is incorporated in

the island nation of Vanuatu. In a separate decision, U.S. Superior

Court Judge Peter Lichtman ruled in L.A. that lawsuits against record

labels by two California consumer groups can go forward. Lichtman

rejected the labels' argument that the suits, over the labels' failure to

warn consumers about copy -protection on CDs, violated the labels'

right to free speech.

er shows. They're a guest and they

get excited about it, they talk to me,

and they end up coming on board. R &R: Do your personalities look at

webcasting as an end in itself, or are

they aspiring broadcasters?

LM: Well, some of them are ask-

ing me how to make a demo tape. It's inevitable, and, I tell you, I

would be delighted. As much as we

like to think of ourselves as the lat-

est thing going, I know that, to a lot

of these people, being in traditional broadcasting is everything. I would be so happy with them if they walked in this door and they had never hosted a show before and then a radio station hired them somewhere. I would feel as if a child had made it.

R &R: Do you subscribe to Ar-

bitron's MeasureCast Ratings?

LM: We don't. So far, what we do is we get the raw data from our serv-

er on the first day of each month for

the previous month. Each hour is

broken into three segments, so if you

did a show and you had a guy who sold a widget in a first segment, and your second segment was a woman who stood on her head for 83

hours and got into the Guinness Book of Records, we would know exactly how many listeners clicked

on each segment. It's a great tool,

also, for the host to look into and say,

"Wow, I'm gonna have that guest back on. He e- mailed his constitu- ency, and I had a lot of listeners for

that segment." R &R: So the hosts have access to the

equivalent of ratings numbers to use for

ad sales?

LM: Yes. Look at it this way: You've got a show like Glass Talk, you

can go to an advertiser and say,

"How'd you like to have 42,000 peo-

ple with Visa cards and laptops in a

room ?" Because that's what you've got. When you advertise on tradition-

al radio, there's a lot of waste; you're going to pay for people who aren't

interested in glass blowing. But here

we have this targeted audience. And, you know something, you

have to be interested in the subject

to listen here, because you have to

go on the Internet, you have to find

us, you have to click on it, and if the

show's not on live, you have to go

to the archive. These listeners are

dedicated.

Patrick Mullen, President of Tribune Television since March 2001, has been given expanded duties and a new title: President of Tri-

bune Broadcasting. Mullen will now oversee Tribune's sole radio station, News/Talk WGN -AM /Chicago, as well as the company's 24 TV stations and entertainment division.

"Pat has provided great leadership for our television stations," Tribune President/CEO Dennis FitzSimons said. "Since joining Tribune in 1998 Pat has demonstrated time and again that he has the talent, experience and dedication that are essential for success in the media industry."

Following two decades in local TV sales and management, Mullen became Regional VP for Tribune Television in 2001.

Shepard Set As PD Of WBTT & WRLR/Ft. Myers

Ron Shepard, a.k.a. Jomama Johnson, has been named PD of Clear Channel CHR/Rhythmic -FM Talk combo WBTT & WRLR/Ft. My-

ers, effective Jan. 27. He replaces Bo Matthews, who moves to Clear Channel's Jacksonville operation for similar duties.

Most recently PD for WENN /Birmingham, Shepard was instrumental in the launch of WBTT over two years ago and has been on WBTT as host of The Quiet Storm on Sunday nights. He has also worked as Asst. PD and Promotion Director and been on -air at WFLZ/Tampa.

'We are blessed to have acquired the experience and talent of Ron Shepard," WBTT GM Jim Keating said. "Ron is very familiar with our operation, so we expect a smooth transition."

She will continue to oversee media relations for Pre- miere, and she will develop and implement national media strategies, as well as coordinate Premiere's public relations with other divisions of parent company Clear Channel Communications.

"Amir is a great example of the best of her profes- sion," Premiere President/COO Kraig Kitchin said. 'This newly created position reflects the importance of Amir's expertise and high -caliber performance to our company's success."

Forester, who also serves as Premiere's spokeswoman, joined the company in 1998 as the Media Relations Supervisor for The Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show. She began her career in public relations at Hill & Knowlton in Los Angeles, where she served such clients as the Califor- nia Department of Health Services, Gemstar, Mazda, the Pasadena Tour- nament of Roses and others.

summer, Smulyan said that while Emmis is still planning to create a

new company just for its television business, he hasn't ruled out possibly merging the assets with another company. He said that if the spinoff occurs before summer, "it will be because there is a strategic partner that has come along that mitigates the impact of taxes, but if not it would just be done without a partner."

Looking ahead, Emmis expects fiscal Q4 radio revenue to improve 2 %, to $53.6 million; overall net revenue to improve 4 %, to $120.9 million; radio BCF to rise 18 %, to $20.2

million; and overall EBITDA to jump 19 %, to $29.7 million.

However, Smulyan warned that he's still conservative about what 2003 will bring, considering the threat of war with Iraq looming on the horizon. "I don't think anybody wants to be too bullish," he said. "We feel really, really good about the competitive position of this company - better than I've ever felt. We'll do our job, whether it's ratings or revenue, and take what the market gives us. We'll be fine."

The Bee Gees would enjoy five decades' worth of hit singles, beginning in 1967 with the top 20 hit "New York Mining Disaster 1941." The trio would score a string of hits over the next four years, including "To Love Somebody," "I Started a

Joke," "Lonely Days" and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," which in 1971 became the group's first No. l single.

The next four years saw a string of flops, which led Bee Gees manager Robert Stigwood to team up with noted producer Arif Mardin. The results would prove masterful, as The Bee Gees became superstars following the 1975 release of "Jive

Stigwood moved the group from Atco to his own fledgling label, RSO, and saw three R &R chart-top- pers that could be found on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever: "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love." The soundtrack is the third -best -selling album of all time.

The Bee Gees would have two more R &R No. is in early 1979: "Too Much Heaven" and "Tragedy," both from the album Spirits Having Flown.

The group had modest success throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and Maurice Gibb co -wrote with his brothers the 1983 Kenny Rogers - Dolly Parton No. 1 "Islands in the Stream." The Bee Gees' most recent single, "This Is Where I Came In," was released in 2001.

Maurice Gibb is also survived by his second wife, Yvonne Spenceley, children Adam and Samantha, and his mother, Barbara Gibb. He was married to British pop singer Lulu from 1969 until 1973, when they di- vorced. A family -only funeral was planned.

Promotions Potpourri A few ideas and thoughts to consider for your 2003 promotions calendar

x s the new year gets underway, most stations are looking at their promotional calendars for the year ahead to begin planning for annual events and other promotional opportunities.

With that in mind, this week I'm cleaning out the files on a number of promotions I've heard or seen done re-

cently, along with some ideas for other potential revenue sources for News/ Talkers.

Some of these are not necessarily new ideas, but all of them may at least spark some discussion at your station's next promotions meeting, and that could result in a great promotion for your station and a client partner, as well as increased revenues.

The Greatest Year Of Your Life

With war looming, the economy sagging and continued partisan sniping in Washington, DC, it's hard to be an optimist these days. Consider fly-

ing in the face of general sentiment by promising to award the Greatest Year

of Your Life.

This promotion can be effective for a strongly entrenched local host or as a

station promotion through recorded announcements in your designated promo avail slots. Either way, the exe-

cution of this promotion is pretty simple, and it's easily explained on the air.

Listeners qualify by listening for your station's word of the day, story

of the day or perhaps even highlighted host of the day. Each qualifier should receive at least a token prize, which can be consistent or change weekly or even daily. The grand - prize winner receives a package of prizes and services they can use for one year.

Prizes can include a one -year lease on a luxury automobile; mortgage or rent, up to a set amount, paid for a

year; a cellular phone with free minutes for a year; a one -year health club membership; a housekeeper for 52

weeks; dinner at 12 local restaurants, one each month for a year, etc.

The prize possibilities are almost endless with a bit of brainstorming, and the client- partner tie -ins are obvious. Other names I've heard used for this promotion include Live Like a Millionaire and Live Free for a Year.

No matter what you call it, this one is

a feel -good promotion in times that are tough for many of your listeners.

Your Second Chance

Assuming your state has a lottery, this promotion can be another opportunity to generate revenue by tapping in

Ito the advertising and marketing dollars most state lotteries have available.

The Second- Chance Lottery is simple: On the morning or the day after the lottery numbers are drawn in your state, hold a second -chance lottery where your station draws a set of numbers at random that correspond to your state's lottery- number configuration.

The winner gets a prize consisting of a small amount of cash - $100 or so - and 100 lottery tickets for the next state drawing. The idea is to get losing ticket holders to listen to your station for a second chance.

One note of caution should you decide to do this promotion: Some stations' legal counselors have expressed concern that the purchase of a lottery ticket is necessary in order to have a

losing ticket that could win the second - chance lottery.

For that reason, you might also wish to have possible winning tickets available for free at your station or e-mail possible winning numbers out to your station's loyal -listener database to avoid any concerns about "consideration" being required to participate in

the contest.

Station Pajama Party

OK, maybe your station's morning talk host isn't a wild and zany morning -zoo sort of character, but many News/Talkers do offer morning shows that are less serious and more locally oriented than those in other dayparts. If you have a morning show that can pull it off, a Pajama Party is a great way

to have fun with listeners and tie in a client partner such as a hotel or restaurant.

There's no contest; you simply promote that the station will have a

pajama party on a given date and place with many special activities, guests, etc. The key is that admission is free to anyone in pj's. All others must pay a cover charge that will go to a local charity.

Naturally, your morning host or hosts should be attired in pajamas, as should all support staff. Consider a contest with prizes for dumbest pajamas, most outrageous, skimpiest, oldest, etc. Offer free breakfast and coffee throughout the event, and don't forget to contact your local TV

morning show - most markets have at least one - and invite its roving reporter to do a live shot from the event.

Get local celebrities and politi- cians to join in as on -air guests. In

short, get as off- the -wall as you dare, based on your station and hosts. This promotion can also be fun for local late -night hosts or weekend hosts.

The Car Of Your Dreams In today's automotive industry,

most dealer- owners have multiple franchises in any given city. Whereas in days gone by there might have been Smith Ford, today you will likely find the same owner controls Smith Ford, Smith Chevrolet, Smith Toyota, Smith Infinity and Smith Jeep.

That means you may be able to set up a Car of Your Dreams promotion through just one dealer group. But it

can also be done across several dealer groups, since all brands get equal promotion and only one car is given away at the end of the contest.

It's no secret that the auto industry is struggling, despite reported brisk sales in recent months. Zero -down, zero percent financing has enticed a

lot of buyers into dealerships, but profit margins on most car lines are at all -time lows for most dealers, so con- vincing them to be part of a station - wide Car of Your Dreams promotion shouldn't be difficult.

Promotions Potpourri Continued from Page 15

You don't risk alienating one good auto client in favor of another, because

the basic plan of this promotion is to

offer as many different cars as possible as the final prize. The idea is that instead of offering a single car, as most stations do, your station lets the win-

ner pick the car of his or her dreams from a wide variety of makes and models. A good image -production person can make it sound like your station is giving away dozens of au-

tomobiles instead of just one. Dealers may participate after they

buy a set schedule of commercials, which you can then augment with equal- rotation mentions in your pro-

mo avails. You may also want to set

up on -site registration and broadcasts from participating dealers over several weekends to make the package even more attractive (car dealers love

live broadcasts!). Then stage the final giveaway at a

neutral location, like a mall, a stadium parking lot or another location where all the cars the winner can choose from

are on display. It's quite a sight to see

multicolored autos of lots of different

makes all lined up in a row.

Draw the winning name, hand the winner the keys on the spot, and let

the winner drive the new car home. This promotion can generate revenue from the auto dealerships, from the final- drawing location, if it's a mall or

other shopping center, and from oth-

er participating sponsors that can pro-

vide second, third or even multiple consolation prizes so nobody goes home empty- handed.

Get Me A Day Off!

With layoffs more prevalent today than most of us would like, more workers than ever are finding them-

selves covering jobs that used to be handled by several employees. In

many positions getting a day off is

tough because there's nobody to cov-

er the job when the employee is gone. The Get Me a Day Off! promotion

gives your listeners something they want -a day off for no reason - and provides a fill -in for that worker's employer through a local temporary agency. One of the added benefits of

this promotion is the potential new revenue from the participating temporary- placement agency. If your station streams audio on the Internet, this promotion can also be used to promote at -work listening.

Another potential new revenue area

for your News/ Talk station could be an

ad sector that is not top -of -mind for most salespeople in the format: record-

ed music. While some may suggest that News/ Talk's demos are not the place to sell CDs by Eminem, Britney

Spears and Nelly, the fact is that the fastest -growing group of music consumers is actually the over -45 crowd.

The majority of music buyers are 30

or older, according to statistics compiled last year by the Recording Indus- try Association of America. Even though people get older, with mortgag-

es and kids, let's not forget that these are baby boomers who want to stay cool, and they still want to buy CDs.

While MTV and music radio target the bare- midriff -and- belly -button- ring crowd, resulting in megasales for

pop artists, mature demos - those that listen to News /Talk - are finding music they want to hear anyway.

Witness last year's O Brother, Where

Art Thou? soundtrack, which sold more

than 5 million copies without any sig-

nificant commercial music -radio air-

play - proof that upper -demo listen-

ers are finding CDs they want to buy without hearing them on music radio.

Educate The Music Industry

With the recorded -music industry facing decreased product sales, this could be a perfect time for News /Talk and other spoken -word formats to educate the music industry about the fact that we have the demographics that are buying product and that have the disposable income to do so. Sell-

ing music on News /Talk radio could represent a significant growth oppor-

tunity for both the format and the la-

bels. At last year's R &R Talk Radio Sem-

inar, Joint Communications CEO John

Parikhal told attendees, "Over the next

five years, as 4 million listeners a year start turning 50 and 55, advertisers will

begin twitching as they try to adjust to

this new demographic reality."

A report in Ad Age cited by the RAB

last year would seem to support Parikhal's prediction, suggesting that marketers should heed the fact that the 50+ crowd is richer and more will-

ing to spend than the 18 -34 and 18 -49

demos so many marketers are ob-

sessed with. There are plenty of boomers out

there for marketers to chase. Over 70

million of us were born between 1946-

1964, with the oldest boomers now in

their mid -50s. Just 38% of U.S. adults are over 49 today, but that will grow to nearly 50% of the population by

2020, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics. Despite these facts, many marketers are still clinging to their 18-

49 demos, and barely 10% of all ad messages are aimed at the over -50

consumer. News/ Talk salespeople need to fo-

cus on training marketers to understand that nearly half of all discretion- ary spending is controlled by the 50+

crowd - the same group that also controls nearly 70% of the country's net worth. And it's the demo that News /Talk dominates.

A Word About Sales Promotions

It's no surprise in today's business environment that the demand from cli-

ents for promotions to go with their ad

schedules is greater than ever. But smart programmers and sales managers understand that satisfying a client

with an unimaginative promotion may quiet the client's demands for now, but it will come back to haunt you when the dull promotion doesn't work - and they generally don't. That's why it's a good idea to use a simple screen-

ing process for all proposed sales pro-

motions before signing off:

FOUR-PART HARMONY This happy- looking quartet of ABC Radio

execs gathered in New York to celebrate Steve Jones' recent promotion to VP/

GM at ABC News Radio. Shown here (l -r) are Jones' predecessor in the chair,

Chris Berry, who is now President/GM of WMAL/Washington; Jones; ABC

Radio Networks President Traug Keller; and ABC News Sr. VP /New Media Bob

Murphy.

1. Identify the client's goals. What aspect of the product or service is im-

portant to the client, and who are they trying to reach with that message? What other media, if any, do they plan to use?

2. Consider doing a reach- and -fre-

quency study for promos. Don't just assign a random number of promos to

a promotion because that's what the

client or salesperson wants. Find out how many times a promo actually has

to run in order to effectively reach the target for any given promotion.

3. Have standard packages available. Smart programmers work with sales in advance to develop appropri- ate packages that offer a fixed number of promos based on a reach -and-

frequency study. That way every new client- focused promotion doesn't have to be invented from the ground up. It makes it easier for programming and promotions when everyone knows the rules going in.

4. Don't confuse audience promotions with sales promotions. That doesn't mean both kinds aren't valuable to a station; they are. But the two are very different animals, and one should not be confused with the oth-

er as you plan a promotion. 5. Put a value on promo announce-

ments. Don't just give them away or

pull a meaningless figure from the air.

Set up a package setting the value of

promos at 50°<, -80% of the client's top rate. For example, if the client's top rate is $40, 80% of that equals $32.

Thirty -two dollars times 35 promos equals $1,120 in added value from promotional mentions.

6. Look ahead. Don't wait until an

opportunity presents itself to pitch a

strategic promotion that requires a cli-

ent partner. Present your holiday pro-

motions, for example, in July or Au-

gust, and set up summer promotions in February and March. Get the cli-

ent's commitment and marketing budget locked up early.

7. Be fair. When a client comes to

you with a one -sided promotional idea, don't react by going back to them with something that is one -sided in

favor of the station. Work together to

find the common ground that meets the client's needs yet still benefits the

station. 8. Follow through! Most promo-

tions are presented in writing, so it

seems only logical that they should be

followed up in the same way. Review every promotion to ensure that the cli-

ent and the station delivered all that was promised and that you both walk away from the promotion as satisfied

winners.

18 R &R January 17, 2003 NEW.5

CES Continued from Page 1

During the course of the CES, which ran here from Jan. 8 -11, iBiquity announced that Clear Chan- nel, Infinity, Entercom, Radio One, Cox, SBS, Hispanic Broadcasting, Susquehanna, Greater Media, Bonneville, Beasley, Journal and other groups have licensed HD Ra-

dio, joining a handful of colleges and individual stations that are also com- mitting to the new digital -radio technology.

IBiquity said stations in 40 markets throughout 26 states plan to launch HD Radio broadcasts early this year, including most of the nation's top markets - among them New York,

Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Dallas - along with many midsized and small markets.

To pick up those digital signals, Kenwood unveiled the first HD Ra-

dio tuner. Slated for availability in Q2, the model KTC -HR100 tuner is

capable of receiving both digital and analog broadcasts and automatically selects the format a station is using.

Kenwood also unveiled eight HD Radio -ready in -dash DVD and CD receivers for its 2003 product line, with models under both the Ken - wood and Excelon brand names. The KTC -HR100 HD Radio tuner can only be used with Kenwood receivers.

Meanwhile, iBiquity and dMarc signed a marketing deal for data services HD Radio technology also makes possible. iBiquity and the subcarrier- management and wireless data -distribution company will partner to deliver information to in -ve-

hicle and home receivers for various consumer applications, including on- demand interactive traffic, news and weather.

And YES Networks - which ag- gregates data from its retail partners, such as Amazon.com and eBay, to show price, name of seller, descrip- tion, pictures and other information online and - has agreed to develop a "back channel" compatible with HD Radio that will allow radio stations to include such data in their digital broadcasts. The information would be displayed to consumers on their HD Radio-ready receivers.

IBiquity took a moment to clarify an earlier announcement about WDMK /Detroit's adoption of HD Radio. The Radio One station recently became the first station li-

censed by iBiquity to broadcast HD Radio with commercial equipment; WDMK began using the technology in December 2002.

However, several other stations, including WYGY /Cincinnati, have been broadcasting in digital using HD Radio in a test capacity for several months. WYGY began broadcasting in digital with commercial equipment a few weeks after WDMK, and the transition was seam- less.

Sirius News

Sirius chose CES to announce a

laundry list of new initiatives, including a name change. VP /Corporate Communications Jim Collins told R &R that the company will begin identifying itself simply as Sirius, rather than Sirius Satellite Radio.

"This reflects an evolution for our company," he said. "We're going for an image that's more outgoing and dynamic."

Collins added that the decision to drop any reference to satellite radio from its name was driven by the company's plans to expand into other areas, such as video and data delivery.

"Sirius may not be just satellite ra-

dio," he said. "It may be something else. We're not just transmitting music or talk. It may be video or data."

In fact, at Sirius CES offered a demonstration of a potential video-delivery system. Following up on comments President /CEO Joe Clayton made during last month's Credit Suisse First Boston media conference, the satcaster demonstrated a live video broadcast over its system, making it the first satellite -radio company to demonstrate video capability.

The demonstration signaled what Clayton believes could make his company more attractive to consumers. "It's all about choice," he said. "Our technology enables us to trans- mit a wide variety of data in addition to our commercial -free music and entertainment programming. The emphasis is on variety of selection and quality programming that enhances people's lives. Ultimately, our mission is to provide customers with premier entertainment choices."

Increased Ad Push; New Channels

Sirius Exec. VP/ Marketing Mary Pat Ryan announced that her company is readying its biggest -ever national advertising campaign, which is set to be launched this quarter. Ryan said the campaign has the full support of Sirius' auto-manufactur- ing and retail partners and will in-

clude placement in national broadcasting, cable, print and outdoor venues.

That includes commercial radio, Clayton said, and while there may be some question about whether Clear Channel and other major shareholders of rival XM Satellite Radio - and terrestrial radio as a

whole - will allow Sirius to run ads on their properties, Clayton said similar problems he experienced during his days launching satellite television proved temporary.

"CBS wouldn't run our spots for about six months," he said. "Then greed kicked in, and they did. The same thing will happen here."

Sirius also announced that 14 new channels would be launched on Feb.

3. Six are news / entertainment channels, including three new versions of the Weather Channel that will each focus on a different section of the country (East, Central and West) and a channel with programming culled from cable TV's Court TV

network. The two new Talk networks are Sirius Left, featuring more liberal fare, and Sirius Right, which has a more conservative bent.

The remaining eight new channels are devoted to music, with two showcasing dance music; one devoted to international hip -hop; another that highlights such "world class DJs" such as Busta Rhymes and 50 Cent; one specializing in folk music; an easy listening channel; a

new rock channel focused on "jam bands" such as Phish, Blind Boys Of Alabama and Gov't Mule; and an expanded version of The Trend, which specializes in "world -class rock."

The company also announced the formation of "WAGS" - the Work- ing Artist Group at Sirius. WAGS is

designed to provide exposure to emerging and unsigned artists over the company's satellite radio system. Sirius will record and produce unsigned artists and will select songs from those sessions to go into rotation. Plus, CDs featuring the artists will be made available through the company's website.

In addition, the satcaster plans to broadcast daily live music performances on its new channel 100,

"Sirius Sessions," which will debut Feb. 3, air weekdays and feature performances from all genres of music recorded live in the company's studios.

Expanded Product Line

Addressing what could be considered its Achilles' heel up until now,

Sirius is expanding its product line this year. VP/ Product Management Larry Pesce said Sirius plans to offer during the coming year five different "plug and play" units, along with the first -ever units designed specifically for in -home use.

Sirius partners Kenwood and Delphi will also introduce fully integrated head units that Pesce said will

"undoubtedly represent the wave of the future for Sirius." The units use new technology that significantly re-

duces the size of the receiver required to pick up the satellite signal, producing what Pesce called a "one -box solution." In all, Sirius plans to offer about 60 different receivers for 2003,

up significantly from the three models it offered last year.

Despite last year's dearth of available receivers, Sirius managed to sign up 30,000 subscribers at year's end. During his company's presentation at the show, Clayton said Sirius hopes to sign up another 40,000 subscribers during Q1 2003 and has a year -end goal of about 300,000 paying customers.

Meanwhile, front- runner XM reit-

erated that it had more than 347,000

subscribers at the end of 2002, bol- stered by 145,000 new subscribers who signed up in Q4 2002, and now has more than 360,000 subscribers. The company still hopes to have 1.2

million subscribers by the end of this year.

In an effort to reach more people, Sirius announced an expansion of its relationship with Hertz. Starting this month, Hertz locations in Denver, Las Vegas and Phoenix are joining airport locations in California and Florida in offering Sirius service in

a variety of Ford and Mercury rental vehicles.

Coyote Ugly? You Should Be So Lucky!

KRZR/Fresno is looking for the ugliest woman in

town. OK, so the contest is a goof: Listeners were asked to

submit photos of the ugliest woman they had ever seen to the

Clear Channel Active Rocker,

which would narrow the entries

until it had what it determined to

be the five butt- ugliest babes in

town. The five lucky senders would score tickets to see Papa

Roach and Blindside in San Fran-

cisco, while the five ugly chicks

would stay in town and score tick-

ets to Cher's Fresno concert. When KRZR posted the pics of Rochelle, my belle ... the Fugly Five on its website, ST

did a double take: The "winners"

were none other than the station's male jocks - including

OM /PD E. Curtis Johnson - dressed in drag! You really

haven't lived until you gaze longingly at "E. Colette" Johnson

seductively licking a lollipop or MD Rick "Rochelle" Roddam, who bears a frightening resemblance to Kurt

Cobain, breast- feeding a baby at a bus stop. "Hopefully, Cher

won't sue us," Johnson says. Check out the pics at your own

Jo Jo more than lost the match - his arm suddenly snapped like a

Fun With Football: Before Jan. I 2's NFC showdown be-

tween the San Francisco 49ers and the Tampa Bay Bucca-

neers in Tampa, Infinity's WLLD (Wild 98.7)/Tampa already

had its own ground game running. In what Wild Promotions

Director Drew Fleming characterized as "going into their

house and calling their baby ugly," Infinity sister KFRC/San

Francisco ran an anti -Niners spot containing the following

message: 'Attention, Niner fans: Tampa just wants to say, 'Jeff

she listened to B96 from Sam to 5pm daily, the man known

The average person listens 35 minutes. There's two ways

they do the ratings, of course. It's the number of people and

how long you listen. So we need you guys to kick it up for

are not allowed to utter such leading sentences, which came

as a surprise to us. Whipping out the seasonal football anal-

Volkman "have been beaten severelp, and it will never hap-

pen again."

Less than three weeks after Clear Channel Hot AC

WSNE/Providence re- imaged itself as "Star 93 -3," the sta-

tion was forced to call an audible and dump the new name.

The reason? Entercom, owner of WQSX (Star 93.7)/Bos-

ton, complained and then issued a C &D. WSNE PD Bill Hess was not amused. "It seems wrong that a station licensed

to the north of Boston - Lawrence. MA - and which, by

Entercom's own documentation, has no signal in Providence

and does not qualify in the Providerce Arbitron, would be

able to preclude us from branding WSNE as 'Star, he said.

CC elected tc forgo a lengthy legal battle with Entercom and

instead switched to the far -less -specific "The New 93 -3."

SOUND DECISIONS

Promotion Prognostications Record execs look at the upcoming year in music

Two weeks ago I talked to several PDs and MDs to get their takes on what will be hot - and what fads will fade - in the upcoming year in music. This week it's the promotion executives' turn, and they discuss their views on the musical trends that will emerge in 2003.

"I don't necessarily see any one big trend raising its hand, but I think music is going to open up more," says Reprise Sr.

VP /Promotion Phil Cos- tello. "From the pop tip, the singer- songwriter players will continue to flourish -people such as Michelle Branch, John Mayer, Norah Jones and, on the younger end, Avril Lavigne.

"You'll continue to see an even bigger presence from the R &B crossover, hip -hop mode. That trend will continue to be explosive. Clearly, the

writing's on the wall for

the teen pop thing. There will always be excep- tions, but I honestly feel

that we've moved on for the moment."

ARTISTdirect VP /Ur- ban Greg Powell notes that the hip -hop genre has become much more commercial. "Look at Jay -

Z," he says. "Who would have thought that Jay -Z and Beyoncé would do a duet together? If you said that a year ago, people would have laughed at you. He's someone you consider a hard -core street artist. For him to do something with Beyoncé tells you that the trends are changing.

"Nelly & Kelly Row- land are up for a Gram- my What wP once knew

as straight hip -hop seems to be more commercial now. As you go down the chart, with the exception of Eminem and Nel- ly, the biggest things are the duets:

Nelly & Kelly, Trina & Ludacris, etc.

It's the trend right now, but by the

end of the year it will be something different. I don't think it's something that's going to last. It's going to come back to real music and the best music."

The Beat From The Street

Powell expects a shift away from duets back to the hard -core street sound, noting that 50

Cent is opening the door for that sound. He says, "It depends on the suc- Geordie cess of 50 Cent, whom I

think will be incredibly huge, but not everybody can do both; you get people who are the street -core kinds of guys, but they can't switch over

commercially. "When you get a real-

ly hot street record and you can move it over commercially, that's the key. That's what it used to

be back with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in their heydays, and even Eminem when he first came out. It

Fischer was really great street music, music that people

could dance to and enjoy in the clubs."

Costello agrees: "There are going to be more and more eruptions from the street level every month. This year 50 Cent is going to blow up, and Eminem's not going away."

For the hottest street action, Pow- ell looks to the East Coast. "That's where you're getting the N.O.R.E.s,

the Jay -Zs and the Ja Rules," he says.

"And with 50 Cent, I think the East Coast is where the majority of the really hot music is coming from right now."

Rock Variety

Costello expects many different flavors in the rock genres and points to groups like Queens Of The Stone Age. "Even though this is their third album, Queens' approach is very fresh," he says. "I think the public has caught up with them. Bands such as them and Trail Of Dead - there' s a lot of excitement in those

R &R January 17, 2003

corners that will continue to be mined and broadened and brought to the forefront more."

Wind -up Sr. VP /Promotion Shanna Fischer says it will be a very diverse year at her label, with acts ranging from politically charged hardcore group Boysetsfire and mainstream rockers 12 Stones to female- fronted gothic - industrial act Evanes- cence and the Daredevil

soundtrack.

Moby -esque artist in the electronic arena."

For Hollywood VP /National Pro-

motion Geordie Gillespie, it's more about the song than the sound. "It's not going to be about the music having to be harder or this or that, it's going to be about great songs that Alterna- tive radio can own," he says. "It's not about tech -

no or the next new thing, it's about going back to the basics of program-

ming songs that kids want to hear that come from all different genres.

"I've got a 17- year -old kid; she loves hip -hop, she loves rock, she loves dance. All she wants is a hip and cool song. If she can find it on 'Modern Rock' radio, she'll be listening to 'Modern Rock' radio."

Greg

And while he can't keep up with all of emo rock's subdivisions, Cos-

tello sees growth in that genre as

well. "That community is so hands - on and actively involved," he observes. "They almost break bands within the community. I'm benefit- ing greatly from that with The Used."

But don't count rap rock out just yet. "Just when everybody wants to

write rap rock off, I hesitate to do so,

because there might be a

couple of players with something up their sleeves," Costello says. "The domination of that sound will continue to shrink, but I don't think it will go away."

Fischer concurs when it comes to rap rock's premature death. "It always

depends on the songs," she says. "If the songs are great, nothing is over."

Growing Gap

At radio, both Fischer and Costel- lo believe the musical gap between Alternative and Active Rock will continue to widen this year. 'Alter- native has opportunities to play artists from the electronic community that Active can't take advantage of,"

Costello says. "Active's a little more confined formatically, and at the same time it may be a little more fo-

cused. "I'm not saying that they're not

delivering what their audiences want, and I'm not critiquing their programming abilities. I'm saying that they may be in tighter confines as to what they can slide into the for-

mat. Alternatives have a wider breadth they can choose from, from the Jack Johnsons all the way to a

Video Helps The Radio Star

After having a huge year with Josh Groban, thanks to key television appearances, Costello believes that TV will continue to help market artists in the adult arena. "The adult buyers out there have been served up a lot of big artists who have maybe had a little harder time, formatically, on radio," he says. "But

exposure through TV softened and, in some cases, contemporized these artists so that they were able to get on the adult formats more easily.

"The television element has real-

ly helped, from a marketing aspect,

to go into the same psychograph that an adult programmer is programming to - in other words, matching it up with a visual medium. If somebody watches the Today

show, they're more likely to be a lis-

tener of an adult format as opposed to an Alternative or Rock format.

"I find that encouraging, especially if you have a lot of good catalog acts," Costello concludes, adding that Reprise will use TV to help sell

Fleetwood Mac's new album this year. "How did James Taylor sell as

many records as he did this time out? Josh Groban was one of the biggest artists from the Warner Music Group all year."

Jones Keeping Up This Blue Note is apparently for very -

one. After her de-

but album grab - bed a field -high

-eighi Grammy nominations last week, Virgin/ Blue Note diva Norah Jones takes advantage of awards -season buzz to mark her second week at the

Norah Jones

top of the charts. This week she picks up 104,000 in sales, making hers the only CD to top the six -figure mark.

Can't we get a TV guy in to fix things?

A diva of a different stripe, Epic's Jennifer .LIkrcc - , UC1CU ColdQta,v _

by two hits on the radio - climbs over Monument /Co- lumbia country trio The Dixie Chicks (No. 3) and Arista sk8te -punk thrush Avril Lav- igne (No. 4) to take the No. 2 spot. Jive teen pop idol Justin Timberlake rounds out the top five.

Four -time American Music Award winner Eminem may have been a no-show at the festivities, but he represents in the top 10 with the Shady /Interscope album 8 Mile at No. 6

and Shady /Aftermath/ Interscopé s The Em-

inem Show at No. 10.

It remains to be seen whether their performances on the AMA telecast will spike sales for Mercury/IDJMG's Shania Twain (No. 7

this week), RCA's Christina Aguilera (No. 8)

and -Gold Mind /Elcktrá EC's Missy Elliott (No. 9).

Major chart jumps are recorded by RCA icon Elvis Presley (19 -12), J's Rod Stewart (22 -14), Capitol's Coldplay (35 -23), Epic's Chevelle (46 -29, with the week's only sales increase, up 5 %), Arista's Pink (39 -31) and Murder Inc. /IDJMG's Source Hip -Hop Vol. 6

compilation (48 -35). Interscopé s Queens Of The Stone Age are the only newcomers, re-

turning at No. 46

as "No One Knows" is now firmly in the top five at Alternative and top 10 at Ac- tive Rock.

Those looking -far- the 2043 - record- selling season to get underway will have to wait until Jan. 28, when new releases are on tap from Motown /Universal's Erykah Badu, Jive's R. Kelly and Reprise's Zwan - the new band from Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan.

24 GOING FOR ADDS, ® January 17, 2003

Superman After portraying the Boy Wonder in the video for "Without Me,"

Eminem has evolved into Superman with his latest single, "Super-

man." This is the third single from The Eminem Show, which won Fa-

vorite Album - Pop or Rock and Favorite Album - Hip Hop/ R &B

at this year's American Music Awards. Eminem also displayed his

superhuman powers of popularity as he took home the awards for

Favorite Male Artist - Pop or Rock and Favorite Male Artist - Hip Hop /R &B at the AMAs. For

his next incredible feat, Eminem will attempt to win five awards at

this year's Grammys, taking place Feb. 23 at New York's Madison Square Garden and airing on CBS.

Eminem will also appear in the video for "In da Club," 50 Cent's follow up to his breakthrough hit "Wanksta." "Superman" will be Going for Adds at Pop next week,

while "In da Club" hits Rhythmic and Urban stations. Kelly Rowland is no ordinary human either, scoring two Gram-

my nominations for her work on "Dilemma" with rapper Nelly. Row-

land has also been nominated for Outstanding New Artist at the 34th

annual NAACP Image Awards, airing March 13 on FOX. To top it all

off, Rowland's "Can't Nobody," from her debut solo album, will be

arriving at Rhythmic and Urban next week.

Even more Grammy- nominated artists hit the airwaves next week.

John Mayer presents "Why Geor-

gia" to Hot AC and Triple A, the

third single from his CD Room for

Squares. Mayer was nominated in

the Best New Artist category, along with Ashanti, Avril Lavigne, Michelle Branch and Norah Jones.

Foo Fighters received two Gram- my nods for their single "All My

Life," and next week they deliver "Times Like These" to Rock, Active

Rock and Alternative. Mayer and the Foos plan to be touring Europe in February, so they may not be present at this year's ceremonies.

"Times Like These" is going to have some stiff competition at Rock,

Active Rock and Alternative. Audioslave are Going for Adds with "Like a Stone," the followup to their single "Cochise." The video for

"Stone" was directed by Meiert Avis (U2, Bruce Springsteen), and Audioslavé s U.S. performances will begin Feb. 21. Guitarists- vocal-

ists Dion and Jimmy, otherwise known as D4, loosen things up a bit

with "Get Loose," from their debut album, 6Twenty. The Auckland, New Zealand natives will be introducing themselves to the masses on The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn on Jan. 20.

Celine Dion, fresh off her win at the AMAs for Favorite Artist - Adult Contemporary, introduces "I Drove All Night" to Pop and Hot AC listeners, the lead single from her forthcoming March 25 release

One Heart. Produced by Peer Astrom and Vito Luprano, "Drove" is

actually a remake of the Roy Orbison classic. Dion will be perform- ing "God Bless America" before the kickoff at this year's Super Bowl,

taking place Jan. 26 in San Diego.

Another remake hits Hot AC next week as Sixpence None The Richer present "Don't Dream It's Over," a remake of the Crowded House classic of the sane name. "Dream" is the second single off the

group's album Divine Discontent.

Josh Groban goes for adds at AC with "You're Still You," the sec-

ond single off his self -titled triple -

Platinum debut album. The young baritone and David Foster discovery also has a CD/ DVD collection in stores called Josh Groban in Con-

cert, a live performance for PBS

that was taped at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Over at Country, Phil Vassar sings from the point of view of

God in "This Is God." The mellow tune from Vassar's American Child

has him asking for peace and goodwill toward man. Jo Dee Messina also presents "Was That My

Life," produced by Byron Gallimore and Tim McGraw. Look for Mes-

sina in the "Look" section of this month's InStyle magazine.

Callout America Hits The Bullseye A new and improved research tool for 2003

t slices, it dices, it shreds. It does just about everything but program your radio station. It's the new and improved Bullseye Callout America, available only to R &R's radio subscribers. You can continue to find the weekly callout results in the CHR pages of the R &R newspaper, but in 2003 we are also adding exclusive web access to our callout data.

You may have already seen the weekly Bullseye callout research on the Country pages of R &R. Now Bullseye and R &R have joined forc-

es to roll out weekly national and re-

gional CHR /Pop callout, and that alone is worth the price of a subscription.

Radio programmers can simply go

to 'UMW bullsi.com and log in with their station call letters and weekly pass- word, which R &R will provide free

of charge to subscribers each week. In

seconds, programmers will be able to

see exclusive callout information based on R &R'smonitored Pop chart.

One of the most exciting features of

the Bullseye -R&R alliance is the abili-

ty to go online and sort by demo (12-

17,18 -24, 25-34), region, familiarity and score. With the new and improved Bullseye Callout America, one can go

back and review past weeks, trend,

explore song detail and more. Programmers can look at each ng by overall score or Positive In-

ex and then further examine or r nk each song tested by Like a Lot,

otal Positive, Neutral, Familiarity, islike, Dislike Strong, Total Burn d Heavy Burn. Bullseye Research is one of the ost respected names in indepen- ent radio research and marketing

t day. R &R is proud to join forces ith a company of this caliber, which nducts its own research, owns its

own call centers in Nashville and Fresno and is passionate about train- mg and research quality control.

Bullseye Marketing Research was the dream child of President John Hart, a successful 26-year radio vet - eran and consultant. Hart most re-

cently programmed WXTU / Phila- delphia and has also served as Cor-

January 17, 2003 R &R 25

porate PD for Colonial Broadcasting. He also put such stations as WUSY (US 101)/ Chattanooga, TN, which regularly earns an 18 share 12 +, on the air.

R &R: Why did you leave a success-

ful radio career to begin a research com-

pany when the Telecom Act and the re-

sulting industry consolidation have shut many firms down?

JH: I have been a research geek my whole radio career, so I decided to get out of radio and start my own business. I began as a consultant, but with a consultant on every corner, I

became a research consultant and fo-

cused on research. That was in 1996,

and we've grown it from there.

I spent my career in radio and still

enjoy it; I still consider myself a ra-

dio guy. My advantage in starting this company was my radio -programming background, and I wanted to create a company with hands - on research capability in any size market. With our research clients, we do their callout, but we are also their research consultants - free of charge.

R &R: How many radio stations do

you do weekly callout for?

Cutting Edge Callout Here's a portion of this week's Callout America CHR/Pop chart showing the results for all

demos. Charts like these will be available weekly to R &R subscribers through the new Bullseye -R &R alliance.

JH: Over 40 stations - multiple formats and all market sizes.

R &R: As a former programmer, what

do you bring to your research company

that gives you an advantage with radio?

JH: I believe I offer the knowledge of how research should be used at ra-

dio - the knowledge that callout is

not about rankers. Callout is about building your radio station based on who you are - say, a CHR that's a

more cume -based station - and tell-

ing you how to go about getting data that serves your needs.

If we are doing a station's callout and they want us to help them interpret it every week, we do that. Unless they want it that way, we don't just turn a report over to a radio guy and say, "Here's your research this week."

R &R: Describe the sample, the mar-

kets and the new web applications you've

created for R &R.

JH: Our weekly national sample for Bullseye Callout America is 350

in markets one-40. On the statistical side of things, it's a plus -or -minus 5% at a sample size of 322 from a

population size of 500,000 to an infi-

nite amount. This is an excellent weekly sample, as we have seen in your callout over the years and in the Bullseye Country callout.

On a daily basis, we ensure we are building a sample on a regional basis. Our sample is random. We do not panel. Paneling has a place, but certainly not in callout research. If

we run across a person we've used before, we program a 90 -day window for an interview. If I call somebody and they do an interview, the dialer will not dial that number for 90 days. Once that number has been dialed three times over a year's time, it is cycled out; it can't be accessed again. We always ask them, "Have you done this before? If so, with whom ?"

R &R: How would you advise pro-

grammers today, regardless of whether

they have callout, to utilize something

like Bullseye Callout America? JH: I would look at detail sheets.

For instance, in the new Bullseye Callout America for CHR / Pop you can access a detail sheet on a song and really see how a song is built. You can use the trending of a song - that's the most important thing that you can use. If a song debuts "hot," does that mean a lot? How's it going to trend over five or six weeks? I'd watch burn levels, and I

would trend burn levels. In our software, you can trend burn levels over the life of a song and really see if it

burns or stabilizes. R &R: What about using Bullseye

Callout America for a song a station may

not be playing? JH: You can also use national call-

out as an indicator. If I'm not playing a song and I see that it's trending, perhaps this is something that I

want to get involved in, particularly on new artists. Use it in a way in which you can really see how a song is built. Use the trending on a song from every category. See how the neutrals are converting, and see

what kind of negatives you are building.

On a scale of one -10, my local call-

out would be an eight. I think national callout would be a five. Callout is

about trending and detail and gen- der -demo breakouts. It has strengths and weaknesses - that should be understood. From my point of view,

the national sample has always been intended to be almost, if not a pre- dictive model, then an indicator model of how a song will perform at callout should you get it to those lev-

els of familiarity. But that's all key on rotational values.

R &R: Here's a scenario: We throw

The Dixie Chicks into callout, and they

come back top three long before anyone

is playing them at CHR /Pop. The label

is excited and begins to spread the info,

but they are getting hit with the line from

PDs, "That's not my research." How would you respond to that?

JH: My personal feeling as a re-

search person - and what the re-

search Ph.Ds tell me - is that this 350 -person sample of women 12 -34

is plus -or -minus 5 %. That means if

you can familiarize this song, it will test, and your listeners will like it.

That's how I would respond to that argument. If you play it, it will probably test.

Now, from the radio side, I would say, "Is that a song I want to play on my radio station ?" Record companies want to sell records, and radio wants ratings. As a PD, I would ask myself, "Is that going to put me in a

position where I sound like I'm playing country music? Maybe I don't want to sound that way just because it tests."

The radio listener says, "If they play it, I like it." We didn't ask them if they listen to country music. We all

know, as radio programmers, that we don't always do what listeners want us to do, even though, at times, they think it's the right thing. We all

have a vision in our head of what we want to hear. Radio programmers sometimes don't really know what their listeners want, and when we ask listeners and they tell us, we don't respond.

As a radio programmer, I sympa- thize and empathize with the diffi- culties of trying to create a radio station that fits in a very narrow niche and trying to create ratings with it because some corporate guy is up there yelling at the manager for numbers when the manager is yelling at me for numbers.

R &R: In research, quality control is

vital. How do you maintain yours?

JH: There is nothing more important in the callout business than the sample. It's whom you talk to that makes callout good, bad or not so good. In fact, I always tell people that you can get callout in two of three way: You can buy it cheap, good or fast. Pick two. If you buy it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you buy it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap. That's the way we op- erate.

(Blackground /Virgin) ranks third with teens, second 18 -24 and first with women 25-34.

B2K start the year off with a bang

as "Bump, Bump, Bump," featuring P.

Diddy (Epic), ranks third overall, first

1eith teens, sixth 18 -24 and fifth 25 -34.

Nivea continues her move up the

R &R CHR /Pop chart, and she ranks

fourth on Callout America with "Don't Mess With My Man" (Jive).

"Man" ranks fourth with teens and

seventh with women 18 -24.

Jay -Z comes in sixth this week

nie" ranks seventh with teens and a

strong fourth among women 18-24.

Other demo highlights come from

the 25 -34 cell: "Picture" by Kid Rock

f /Sheryl Crow (Atlantic) comes in

second in the cell. Ms. Crow is also

featured prominently on The Dixie Chicks' "Landslide" (Monument/ Columbia), which ranks sixth in the

demo. Also, Mariah Carey's

"Through the Rain" (MonarC /1D- JMG) ranks eighth with women 25 -34.

Total sample size is 350 respondents with a +/ -5 margin of error. Total average favorability estimates are based on a scale of 1 -5 (1= dislike very much, 5 =like very much). Total familiarity represents the total

percentage of respondents who recognized the song. Total burn represents the percentage of respondents who said they were tired of hearing the song. Songs must reach 40% familiarity before they appear in

print. Hit Potential (HP) tracks represent songs that have yet to chart top 25 on R &R's CHR /Pop chart. Sample composition is based on females aged 12 -34, who respond favorably to a CHR /Pop musical

montage in the following regions and markets: EAST: Boston, Buffalo, Hartford, Nassau -Suffolk, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rochester, Washington, DC. SOUTH: Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte,

Dallas, Houston, Miami, Nashville, San Antonio, Tampa. MIDWEST: Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Louis. WEST: Denver, Fresno, Las

2002 was a quite a year for programming the hits. From Linkin Park to Ja Rule, Puddle Of Mudd to Jay -Z, we played a tremendous variety of musical genres, and our listeners only seemed to want more. We saw the boy bands go "Bye, Bye, Bye" while a whole new generation of young, talented artists "Sk8ed" their way to the top of the charts. Car -commercial themes moved from television screens

to request lines, and Urban performers seemed to be "Livin' It Up' at CHR. What will we see in 2003? We kick off the year with Missy Elliott's "Work It" workin' the phones big time! Vanessa Carlton's "Pretty Baby" and Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" are holding true to their titles on our request logs, and Good Charlotte's "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" continues to blow up the phones at B95.1. Other

songs doing well in middle Georgia on the B include "Air Force Ones" by Nelly, "Inside Out" by VonRay and "Family Portrait" by Pink. Our listeners crave variety, and that is what we are giving them. The continued variety and energy of the format should keep us rollin' through 2003 with the promise of even more musical surprises for both ourselves and our listeners. Keep those seatbelts on; the ride ahead is

only going to get more intense. But that's why we stay on it, isn't it?

Mr kings are still "Beautiful" for Chris- tina Aguilera as her latest RCA

single holds on to the top spot on the chart ... Avril Lavigne may be he headed for her third No. 1 as "I'm With You" (Arista) is now up to No. 3 ...

Nivea roars into the top five with "Don't Mess With My Man" (Jive) ... Nelly grabs his third top 10 hit in a row as "Air Force Ones" (Fo' ReelbUniversal) moves 11 -10* ... B2K and P. Diddy move 22 -18" (and debut at No. 3 on Callout America) with "Bump, Bump, Bump" (Epic) ... 'N Sync members Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez are doing well on their own - "Cry Me a River" and "Blowin' Me Up..." (Jive) move 9 -7" and 30 -23 ", respectively ... Ja Rule is headed for another smash with "Mesmerize" (Murder Inc. /IDJMG), which moves 44 -34* with some help from his girl Ashanti ... Eminem debuts at No. 46 with "Super- man" (Shady /Interscope) while Stone Sour enter at No. 48 with "Bother" (Roadrunner /IDJMG) ... The Most Added battle was tight; kudos to DreamWorks as Boomkat grab the most with 40. Eminem scores 38, and DFDUB pull In 34 for "Country Girl" (Columbia). - Anthony Acampora, Director/Charts

/-'------/_--1--I--_.---'_.-----'_.------""`" ARTIST: Bowling For Soup

LABEL: Slivertone /Jive By MIKE TRIAS /ASSISTANT EDITOR

The Grammy nominations are in, and one of the biggest questions people

seem to be asking is, "Who the heck are Bowling For Soup?" The joke -rock quartet became the ultimate dark horse when they received a nomination out of nowhere in the category of Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal for their song, "Girl All the Bad Guys Want." Their competition consists of powerhouse acts Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, No Doubt and 'N Sync.

The Wichita Falls, TX band was formed by guitarist -frontman Jaret Von Erich (born Jaret Reddick) and guitarist Erik Rodham Clinton (born Erik Chandler) in 1994. Naming themselves Bowling For Shit in honor of a Steve Martin comedy skit. they opted to change the last word to Soup to make their name fun for all ages.

"I'd basically make fun of Erik for four hours, and we'd play some covers and some of our own songs. take our money and go home," says Jaret. 'That's how we were able to quit our day jobs - we pros- tituted ourselves."

Guitarist Christopher Van Maisteen (born Chris Burney) soon joined the band, and longtime friend and drummer Gary Wiseass (born Gary Wiseman) replaced the group's original drummer in 1999. BFS gained the attention of major labels with Jaret's sarcastic semi- autobiographi- cal tune "The Bitch Song." They ultimately signed with Jive as the label's first rock act. "We were into it because we knew we would be the guinea pigs, and that was the way we had always done everything - by the skin of our teeth," Jaret explains.

Their second Jive release, Drunk Enough to Dance. has a sticker on the cover advertising "Champagne quality at beer prices!" True to their word. Bowling For Soup deliver. At first, I was listening passively to

the album. and the upbeat, pop -punk songs seemed harmless enough. Catchy melodies are found in abundance throughout the CD. such as on the hook to "Surf Colorado." It was upon listening to this joyous -sounding track that I noticed something peculiar: Almost all of their seemingly happy tracks are about heartbreak.

Probably the best example of this is "Self Centered." The happy -go -lucky feel of the chorus somehow works with the less - than- positive lyrics. "I'm gonna feel sorry for myself/I want to blame it on everyone else/I want to be self -centered/And make everybody feel sorry for me."

Equally peculiar (yet strangely pleasing) is the nonchalant manner in which BFS deliver lyric- that are. for lack of a better word, jacked. "Scaring Myself' deals with an abusive girlfriend who knows she can get away with it because the boyfriend's whipped. Sample lyric: "She stepped in dog pooh/And I'm still kissing her feet."

The Grammy -nominated single. "Girl All the Bad Guys Want," mixes all of these elements in one song. Co- written by Jaret and Marvelous 3's Butch Walker (who also produced Drunk Enough...). "Girl" has BFS longing in vain for a girl who only goes for cool. tough guys. Lines like "Does a mullet make a man ?" are complemented by an infectious hook, and the video for "Girl" spoofs Staind's Aaron Lewis and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, with Jaret portraying the two rock stars. After listening to "Girl" and Drunk Enough, I'll be root- ing for Bowling For Soup at the Grammys, and here's hoping they wear the light blue tuxedos they sport on their album cover.

Callout America Hits A.... Continued from Page 25

The sample is everything. We take a lot of care to make a random sample and make it a good sample and to hire people who care about what they do. We have fun. When you do callout, make sure you understand who's doing your callout. Make sure you are involved with the process and make sure you get callbacks and use them. When we do callout, we offer 10% call - hack to our clients. Every week I'll give you 10% of the people we call at random.

R &R: How you choose your hooks?

JH: We choose them a couple of ways. My partner and I listen to every song and hook. We have a lot of women around here who listen to CHR, so we also let them listen to the hooks. We also do a lot of CHR callout for stations. We go back and listen to what radio is testing. We'll take what we think is the best hook. If requested, we'll change a hook in a heartbeat. I will do it for record companies if they believe that's the hook. I have changed hooks that have turned songs around.

One -Of -A -Kind Promotions irvbiúmmQrJ nffpr nnirl»n nrmmntinn idpac L1.1114{.l%. - ViVillV11.lVal 1aa11/uV

aking a blueprint of an upcoming radio promotion can be very inspiring. Some of the country's top programmers rack their brains day in and day out to come up with promotion ideas that will excite the staff and, at the same time, drive that station's listeners absolutely crazy.

Depending on a programmer's creativity - and that of the station's promotions director -a promotion can be as big as he or she wants it to

be. When a programmer is clever enough to tie in other elements to

make a promotion a success, word spreads, and you'll find that promotion duplicated in other markets across the country.

To keep radio from sounding bor-

ing and to give it a certain dynamic aside from music and mornings, your promotions must be on point.

With all the events coming up in the next few months, I reached out to

four programmers to see what kind of unique promotions they have set for the first quarter.

Colby Colb

PD, WPHI /Philadelphia We're doing a promo-

tion called Behind the Beats. It's a live performance by an artist in the studio. We record the whole thing, master it and play it back over the air. It doesn't cost a lot to

do, and it's a big bench- mark promotion for us. Plus, it sounds great. You

really have to experience it to see how intimate it is for the listeners.

Sometimes it may not be a live

performance. Recently, we had Nas do a Behind the Beats session, but with him we just did an interview and played cuts off his new album. We also had 100 listeners in the studio, and some of them got the chance to interview him as well.

We'll usually run big campaigns two weeks prior to each Behind the

Beats session. They also serve as our announcement of who the next artist will be. Our listeners love it be-

cause they get to be up -close and personal with the artists and ask them wild questions.

When we had The Roots on Be-

hind the Beats they did a jam ses-

sion. We brought in true Roots fans

to make the energy in the room ex-

citing. What I'll usually do for the record companies to make them

happy is air the feature four to five times before that particular artist's al-

bum comes out. It's almost like a live commercial, and they love it.

A tremendous number of radio stations beg record companies to have artists come out and do their clubs, where only

500 or so people show up. With Be-

hind the Beats you have the chance

Colby Colb

ST. LUNATICS ROLL DEEP I'm sure KBOS/Fresno PD Pattie Moreno

didn't mind being surrounded by Nelly (in the black jacket) and the guys of his

group, the St. Lunatics, during a recent station visit.

fnr(11

to maximize your artist's promotional value in the whole market. A

lot of the artists love it as well, be-

cause they get tired of doing the same type of stuff when they go to

all of these radio stations.

"You have to

continue to be

creative in what

promotions you're

doing and spice

them up."

Colby Colb

You have to continue to be cre-

ative in what promotions you're doing and spice them up. Something like Behind the Beats keeps radio from being boring.

RDub

PD, KOHT (Hot 98.3)/Tucson

We got some bomb -ass promotions going on this year. We start with the fourth annual Sunday Nite Slow Jams Live, which is

a Valentine's Day concert inspired by our No. 1-rat-

ed love songs and dedication show, Sunday Nite

Slow Jams.

By the way, I've been hosting Sunday Nite Slow

Jams in Tucson for 10

straight years - from KJYK (Power 1490), with Bruce St. James letting me start the

show there, to KRQQ and, now, Hot.

Previous Sunday Nite Slow Jams

Live concerts featured K-Ci & Jo-Jo,

Silk, Shanice, Link, Profyle, Next, Surface, Changing Faces, All- 4-One,

Uncle Sam, Divine and IMX. This

year those thus far confirmed include

112, Amanda Perez, Rome and Nu Flavor. More are to be announced. It's

a sellout each year, and we expect this

year's show to be the biggest.

For spring break we'll be filling

up a big -ass bus full of winners and taking them to the hottest spring break spot in the Southwest, Rocky

Point, Mexico. It's R Dub's Big -Ass

Bus to Rocky Point. We did this last year, and it turned

out to be a bigger promotion than our car giveaway. Each winner won a seat on the bus for themselves and a guest, a hotel stay at a pimped -out pad on the beach and free club ad-

mission and drinks each night. Peo-

ple were going nuts for this trip.

Fisher

PD, WHZT (Hot 98.1)/ Greenville, SC

For January, Super Bowl XXXVII

is an obvious important promotional date. Giveaways can include a Su-

per Bowl party with the Hot staff at your house (we'll bring the beer, the

music, the food and a big screen). You can also do a "No Bowl" night at a restaurant for your listeners who aren't interested in the Super Bowl

but still give away "super" prizes. For February, important dates are

Valentine's Day (hold a celebrity bachelor -bachelorette auction at a

single's night party, like a

Hot Pursuit Night). Val-

entine's Day also lends it-

self to dinner and limo giveaways or worst -date stories.

Feb. 17 is President's Day, so we are picking a

Hot 98.1 President for a

Day. One listener will get to pick a few songs and get all their requests and shout -outs played. February also in-

cludes Mardi Gras. Call your local

city office and put together your own Mardi Gras parade, complete with beads, bands and floats.

And don't forget about the Gram - mys. We're going to host a Grammy - watching party. Giveaways include designer gowns, limos, dinners, trips,

etc. We'll also have Hot listeners use

our website to cast their Grammy nominations. Since Washington's birthday is in February, use this day to give away some cash. Something

easy to do is Free Febru- ary. Give anything and ev-

erything away; we're fo-

cusing on Fridays. In March you've got St.

Patrick's Day, March Madness and the first day of spring. Do a Blarney Bus on St. Patrick's Day (cart 50 of your listeners from bar to bar; they can

win their tickets by calling the sta-

tion and getting on -air). We're in

Greenville, so of course we're doing lots of "green" giveaways, like cre-

ating Greenville Greens - fake money that can be used for dis- counts at Greenville businesses.

Orlando

PD, WLLD/Tampa

We're heavily planning on having the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl, so we're already putting together a big road trip with some of the listeners and will broadcast live from a Winnebago while on our way to San Diego. We did this before, with Wood - stock '99, and it's kind of like Rand Rules. When we make it to the Super Bowl, we'll iron that promotion out.

One promotion that we've done in the past and that we're scheduled to do this year is the Off the Wall

promotion. That's where we pick seven or eight of our core artists and

get a whole bunch of their product, like posters and stuff. We do a week-

long giveaway each week, and the grand -prize winner for each week

gets a Platinum plaque from one of

those core artists. We learned that this is kind of a

lifestyle deal. Fans can get the CDs

and the posters, but not many of

them have Platinum plaques for The

Eminem Show hanging on

their wall. That's something the ultimate fan is

always trying to score. When you can get a per-

sonalized plaque with a

listener's name on it, that's even better. Or you can even have it made out to the artist and give it to

the listener straight off of

that artist's wall.

When we deliver the plaques, some of the kids are like, "Damn, this is something that you'd see in a

rock star's house!" That's something you just can't buy. You just can't go

out and buy a Platinum plaque. We blew out a crapload of Em-

inem plaques so that everybody got hooked up with one. I had to mow Nino's grass at his new house for a

while to get them. I had to keep fly-

ing to L.A. every weekend to cut his grass and babysit his kids for a

couple of weekends, but I got hooked up.

We've also got our Wild Splash concert coming up, which is big for

our first quarter. It's our 16,000 -per-

son event, and it's at the beach, by

the water. We try to get a collection

of hip -hop and reggae vocalists and

bring them all under one roof. Last

year we did Beenie Man, Busta Rhymes, Sean Paul and Nappy Roots. This year we're looking to

make it bigger. It's kind of like a "unity in the

community" thing, where we try to

get everyone out and put their best

foot forward and their best thong forward because it's the beach - and it's a son of a beach too!

Oh man! The Tablib Kweli & DJ Quik record "The Streets Is Callin"" (Rawkus/

MCA) is an amazing record. Seriously, I lose it when I hear it, because it's

just bangin'. Another record I lose it on that's a definite heater in the mix

and in the club is the new 50 Cent, "In da Club" (Shady /Aftermath/

lnterscope). I know Craig David's "What's Your Flava" (Wildstar /Atlantic)

may not be working in some markets, but I honestly love the sound of this

record. It's uptempo for the clubs, mix -friendly, and the ladies like him, so

you can't lose. Were also banging the heck out of the new Snoop track..

"Beautiful" (Priority). Be on the lookout for this one.

Fredrock, KCAO /Oxnard, CA

"In da Club" (Shady /Aftermath /lnterscope) by

50 Cent is ridiculous! Drop this record in tha

club and just watch! Play it again and admire

a whole lot of shakin' going on. I'm also playing Ja Rule & Ashanti's "Mes-

merize" (Murder Inc. /IDJMG). The raid ain't going stop this duo from mes-

merizing the world. Murder Inc. lives.

This Week's Hottest Music Picks

Chris Tyler E, WJMN/Bostoo

50 Cent's In da Club" (Shady /After- math /Interscope): No. 1 phones a.erall! And that's just from mix -show airplay. This is now in regular rotation.

Eminem's "Superman" (Shady / After- math/ Interscope): It's Eminem. 'Nuff said!

Saraí s "Pack Ya Bags" (Epic): If this isn't female- friendly, what is? Chick anthem! Great hook too.

Big Al MD, WLXD/Sreen Bay, WI

Tyrese's "SPtuations" (J): "How Do You Want It, Part Two." When he redid the song, I played it once, and the phones blew up. It's gonna be huge!

Fabolous featuring Lil Mo's "It's All Right" (Elektra / EEG): Remember when he first came on the scene and everyong was like, "Da da, da da da ".... Damn, he's been beating up the competition in the "Battle of the New Jamz." When's the add date? I'm doing it now.

Jay -Z featuring Twista, Killer Mike & Big Boí s "Poppin' Tags" (Roc-A- Fella /IID- JMG): Yo, this is like my favorite joint off the album, and it's as catchy as "Big Pinipiri "

was. Banging in the mix shows!

Mark Medina PD, KZZP/Phoenix

T.A.T.U: s "All the Things She Said" (In- terscope): This, is a great pop record tha t provides a nice balance for us at KISS.

50 Cent's "In da Club ": Hot, hot, hot record.

Killer Mike featuring OutKast's (Aquemini / Columbia): Hap-

py to be breaking this one in Phoeni . An- other heater, and I love OutKast. This ne is

coming straight outta Stankonia to KII S.

Vi -3's "Eyes Closed So Tight" (MC . ): An- other pop -leaning record that I think we'll be hitting soon.

®CHR /RHYTHM /C Eminem's "Super-

man": Another huge record from Shady. Al- ready going to power rotation.

David Simpson MD, WZMX/Hartlord, CT

Freeway featuring Jay -Z & Beenie Sigel's "What We Do" (Roc -A -Fella / ID-

JMG): Big in mix show and now starting to get big requests.

Fat Joe featuring Tony Sunshine's "All I

Need" (Terror Squad / Atlantic): No. 2 on "Hot8 @8."

R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)" (Jive): It's hot!

50 Cent's "In da Club ": Doing big thangs. First "Wanksta," and now I'm feeling "In da Club" Watch out for 50.

Eminem's "Superman ": Eminem is always a hit over here, and we got another one with "Superman."

Snoop Dogg's "Beautiful" (Doggy Style / Priority /Capitol): Now this is the one I was waiting for. It's hot!

Zac Davis PD, WBYDIMeihourne

Trick Daddy's "Thug Holiday" (Slip -N- Slide /Atlantic): Was No. 6 phones after a handful of spins. I think it already has a great story down here and will expand nicely.

Ja Rule featuring Ashanti's "Mesmerize" (Murder Inc./ IDJMG): This is gonna be huge for us. Got a great hook and looks as big as "Always on Time." This one is a given.

Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go" (VP/ At- lantic): It's been in my ear since WKSS /Hart- ford's Diego hipped me to it, like two months ago. The reggae vibe is like a cold down here in Florida: It's contagious, and this has been top five phones for the last four weeks.

Eminem's "8 Mile" (Shady / Interscope): 2002's biggest music star is gonna bring that popularity into 2003. Another smash!

Tony Tecate MD, KSFM/Saeramento

Killer Mike featuring Outkast's "A.D.I.D.A.S ": I can always count on Out - Kast to take out the monotony in the music I hear every day. This track is so hot, if you

January 17, 2003 R &R 35

can't hear this on the first listen, give me a

call, and I will help you clean out your ears! Ginuwine featuring Baby's "Hell Yeah"

(Epic): Straight heat. They're going to be able to feel this everywhere - streets, clubs and in traffic!

50 Cent's "In da Club ": I hope you're ready for the next big star! 50's flow is a

blessing over Dré s tracks. The hip -hop underground presence is still there, but it looks like with this track he might be able to shed that skin.

Preston Lowe MD, K@BT /Ain

Kelly Rowland's "Can't Nobody" (Co- lumbia): This should have been the first release, in my opinion. It's uptempo with melody, my favorite type of song.

Ginuwine featuring Baby's "Hell Yeah ":

This one moves. Great uptempo song for the radio and made for the club.

Snoop Dogg's "Beautiful ": Most of Snoop's biggest hits are melody- driven, and here's another one.

Heather Headley's "I Wish I Wasn't" (RCA): Here's the perfect song for your slow jam or "Heartbeat" segment. Unless you are an Urban AC station - then you should clear a spot in power rotation for this one soon.

Dana Cortez Pte, KMRIUMidand, TX

Lil Rob's "City That Everyone Knows" (Upstairs): This joint is hella hot! Another surprise about to blow up.

R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix) ": I'm still bangin' the original, but this one is gonna be just as hot.

Slyed MO, XNTZ/San Diego

Lil Mo featuring Lil Kim's "Ten Com- mandments" (Gold Mind / Elektra /EEG): I

think this is a banger. It's been a while since we've heard from Kim, but this is sure to make noise for the new year.

Jolt Collins RBI, ORS/Wichita

Snoop Dogg's "Beautiful ": A freakin' smash! Much better than "From tha Chu - uuch To da Palace." This will probably have a long run.

Eminem's "Superman ": What can this guy not do? Since we put it on, the phones

have been blowin' up, especially on the "In- teractive Jammiri 8 @ 8."

J. Lo featuring LL Cool J's "All I Have" (Epic): The title of her CD is This Is Me... Then, and every time I hear this song it takes me back to high school and listening to De- bra Laws' "Very Special." Hot!

Nathan Reed PD/MD, WRCL/Fiint, Mi

Nate Dogg featuring Eve's "Get Up" (Elektra /EEG): This is bangin'. Every time we play it, phones!

Eminem's "Superman": Flint cannot get enough Eminem. They could release the whole CD and it would work.

Ginuwine featuring Baby's "Hell Yeah ": Not since "Pony" has Gin had this vibe. I like it!

Pattie Moreno KBOSIFresna

50 Cent's "In Da Club ": The hottest joint on our station.

Marques Houston's "That Girl" (Inter - scope): Love this one.

Tyrese's "How You Gonna Act Like That" (J): Big phones!

Alexa MD, KXJM/Portland, OR

Nas' "I Can" (Columbia): Warming up in the mix! A positive song for all those Bebé s

kids with a catchy -ass hook. Check the track!

50 Cent's "Wanksta" (Shady/ Aftermath/ Interscope): No. 1 phones - 'nuff said.

Trina featuring Ludacris' "B R Right" (Slip -N -Slide / Atlantic): Tied for No. 1

phones. What do you mean, you're not playing it yet?

NAAM Brigade featuring Juvenile's "What You Doiri Wit Dat ?" (ARTISTdirect): The most curiosity calls ever, and it will get you doirí the dogg with that big ass of yours (if you have one).

Picazzo Asst PD/MD, KISY/Bakerslield

Killer Mike featuring OutKast's "A.D.I.D.A.S. ": Added it to our mix show after the first listen.

Ginuwine featuring Baby's "Hell Yeah" (Epic): No doubt this will be huge. Bangin' uptempo track.

Nas' "Made You Look" (Columbia): Had early reservations about this being a radio record, but f* ** all that. It's a hot joint!

ARTIST: Choppa LABEL: New No Limit/Universal By MIKE TRIAS /ASSISTANT EDITOR

New Orleans native Choppa is

ready to make his mark in

hip -hop with his sing -song rap

style and guttural baritone voice.

His "Choppa Style" is already

making its presence felt on Urban and Rhythmic stations across

the country. Produced by JMK, "Choppa Style" not only has

that Southern feel. complete with orchestral horn and string

hits, it features Master P.

Twenty- year -old Choppa has been spittin' rhymes since his

early teens, beating on his chest to give himself a beat. He

gained notice on WQUE /New Orleans' Nine O'Clock Props, hosted by Wild Wayne, and from there became one of the city's

favorite underground acts. His live performances featured his

dancers, The Show Boyz, and their skills, combined with

Choppa's rapping and physique, made the show irresistible to

the ladies.

Choppa later became one of Master P's 504 Boyz and is

prominently featured on the group's current single, "Tight

Whips." "Choppa has the most distinctive voice you would

ever want to hear on a record," says Master R. "He brings a lot

of energy. In Southern hip -hop, there's nothing better out here

than Choppa."

Choppa will soon have the opportunity to showcase his tal-

ent everywhere. He'll be taping performances for Jenny Jones

and Ricki Lake in February, and his debut New No Limit album,

Straight From the N.O., drops March 25. Upcoming magazine

features include Vibe (March) and Source (April), and Choppa

will attend the NBA's All -Star Weekend, where he'll play on the

celebrity basketball team. "Everybody's gonna feel me, but

mostly I'm talking about a lot of stuff that's going on down

South," Choppa says. "I'm straight out of New Orleans, and

I'm trying to bring it to the world."

Martin Lutfier King Jr. was born on Jan. 15, 1929 and shot and killed while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis on April 4, 1968. Jan. 20, 1986 was the first national celebration of King's birthday as a holiday.

It is now celebrated on the third Monday in January of each year. MLK Day is a day on which we have the opportunity to celebrate the life

and legacy of a great man who brought hope and healing to our country.

The Rise Of Individualism

Thinking about all the things that King stood for and all the struggles he endured, I couldn't help but look az the music business and think how far African -American entertainers and those behind the scenes have come. At the same time, though, there's still so much work yet to be done.

If it were not for the work of Dr.

King, where would we be? Would there be countless Urban stations across the country? Would it have been possible for African- American entertainers like Jay -Z, Ja Rule, Nel- ly; Destiny's Child, Luther Vandross and so on to have crossed society's color lines with their music?

"There's still work to

be done, and MLK is

the perfect vehicle

for change. We can

take his foundation

and build upon it." Doug Davis

No band worth its cymbals is any good without a good drum major.

We know from countless football

games that the entire band marches to the direction of the person with the baton and whistle. If he or she

makes a misstep, the entire band makes a misstep.

But what happens when the 1.rum line begins to think for itself nd beats out its own snappy ca-

nence,

the saxophones get down - 'ght funky regardless of the drum ajor's directions or the trombones

decide not to right -face when in- structed to do so?

That would lead the band into chaos and the individualism that we're all too familiar with in the music business. It seems as though music has systematically taken a

turn toward individualism. Every- body is doing his or her own thing.

The Drum Major Instinct

As the African -American corn - munity takes this time to reflect on the life, death and legacy of Dr. Mar- tin Luther King Jr., let us remember that 30 or so years ago Dr. King stood in the pulpit of Ebenezer Bap- tist Church in Atlanta and delivered one of his most memorable sermons, "The Drum Major Instinct." King defined the drum major instinct as "a desire to be out front, a desire to lead the parade, a desire to be first."

I believe that if we take a look at what Dr. King spoke about and compare it to the music industry, we will find that the same concept rings true in what has become a multibil- lion- dollar industry.

Without a doubt, entertainers feel

the need to compete with each other, and there is a strong feeling of "I

gotta get mine, you gotta get yours." There's a burning desire to excel or soar higher than others.

No matter the genre -R &B, rap or gospel - it's a dog- eat -dog world, with each drummer abandoning the drum major and march- ing to his or her own beat. We have to stop and ask ourselves if this is

what "The Dreamer" gave his life for, what he organized marches and sit -ins to accomplish.

Given today's quest for praise, recognition, love and material things - the exact opposite of what King prescribed - "The

No matter how or where we celebrate, let us

not forget Martin Luther King's historical

importance to not only the African -American

community, but to the entire country.

Drum Major Instinct" is one sermon that probably wouldn't get a

lot of hallelujahs and amens in 2003.

Dr. King summed up his sermon with words of wisdom and encouragement that have continued to in-

spire African -Americans, words that were born that February morning and live on in the minds, hearts and souls of all who were privileged to

hear or read them. He said, "Now, brethren, I can't

give you greatness. And, really, I

can't make you first. You must earn it. True greatness comes not by fa-

voritism, but by fitness. And the right hand and the left are not mine to give, they belong to those who are prepared."

Work To Be Done

Dr. King's character was one of dignity, justice, truth, courage and compassion, and his movements and marches brought significant change and inspired many African- American men and women.

During this time many Urban radio stations across the country cele-

brate him in various ways. Some participate in their local parades, many air thought -provoking and informative vignettes from Dr. King's life.

Doug Davis, PD of WJMZ/ Greenville, SC, says, "We're throwing a different twist on our normal MLK celebrations. WJMZ will hold the first annual MLK Po- etry Jam. We are inviting area po- ets and those who want to share their thoughts on King and the struggle to show support. The response so far has been over- whelming. The event will be hosted by WJMZ's very own poet, Malcolm 'The Love Messenger' Rockhold.

"I'm not originally from the South, but it amazes me that the city of Greenville does not recognize the MLK holiday. That lets me know that there's still work to be done, and MLK is the perfect vehicle for

change. We can take his foundation and build upon it."

WGCI / Chicago will run Dr. King vignettes, and WVAZ / Chicago will

run a three -hour special on MLK Day. WGCI & WVAZ PD Elroy Smith says, "We do this every year, and it's always received favorably by our listeners. It's educational, emotional and thought- provoking."

No matter how or where we cel-

ebrate, let us not forget Martin Luth- er King's historical importance to not only the African -American community, but to the entire country.

D.C. PD, WQQK/Nashville

URBAN

A couple of records that are still going strong for us at the top of the year are Jaheim's "Fabulous," which is still working very well, and Whitney Houston's "One of Those Days." This is a record that I feel will be on the radio for a long time to come. o The Nashville market has reacted extremely well to Syleena Johnson's "Guess What." Even though we're

further north than some markets, we're very much considered the "dirty South," so the bluesy -funky attitude that comes with this record is perfect for this market. e Deborah Cox's "The Morning After" is a

record that we waited on, to see how it was going to progress, and it has blown up. We put it in rotation to see what kind of a reaction it would generate, and to this point the response has been very

good. o Vivian Green's "Emotional Roller Coaster" is holding steady, as is Tyrese's "How You Gonna Act..." Two records that I feel have a lot of potential down the road are Aries' "Strangers..." and DJ Rogers Jr.'s "Smile." We put "Smile" on the air to see what it would sound like and see what kind of response the audience would give it, and the phones blew up. We've also had good response for Next's "Imagine That."

RKelly vaults to the top of the Urban

hart with "Ignition" (Jive), which moves 5-1* ... NAAM Brigade's "What You Doin' Wit Dar (ARTISTdirect) is Most Added this week with 28 adds 4)s1 ... Justin Timberlake makes his debut on the chart this week as "Cry Me a

River" (Jive) comes in at 41* ... 50 Cent's "In da Club" (Shady /Aftermath/ Interscope) is Most Increased as it goes up 639 plays and surges 41 -26* ... Aaliyah's "Miss You" (Blackground /Universal) moves 6 -4 *, up 385 plays ... Ja Rule & Ashanti's "Mesmerize" (Murder Inc./ IDJMG) jumps 21 -10* ... Nivea's "Laundromat" (Jive) goes 45 -38* ... At Urban AC, Gerald Levert's "Closure" (Elektra /EEG) is Most Added this week with 26 adds ... Tyrese's "How You Gonna..." (J)

moves 14 -12* with +71 plays, making it Most Increased for the week ... Jeff Majors' "Somebody Bigger" (Music One) debuts this week at *26 ... K -Ci Er JoJo's "This Very Moment" (MCA) also makes its debut, at 28 ... Al Jarreau's "Secrets of Love" (GRP /VMG) moves 21- 18* ... Donnie McClurkin is back, as "The Prayer," featuring Yolanda

ARTIST: Tyrese

LABEL: J

By KASHON POWELL/ URBAN EDITOR

It's about giving the people what they want," says Tyrese about his new al-

bum, I Wanner Go There. "So many people have told me that they've made love to my records. so what I've delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme."

Tyrese first captured our attention in a Coca -Cola TV commercial. That led him to RCA and his Platinum -selling debut album, which included "Sweet Lady" and "Lately." As if that weren't enough, he did a stint as host for MTV Jams. All of a sudden the sexy R &B star was everywhere you looked. as he became the premier model for Guess and Tommy Hilfiger.

I Wanna Go There is the followup to Tyrese's best -selling 2001 release 2000 Watts and his J Records debut. The first single, "How You Gonna Act Like That," is a very realistic song and, without a doubt, shows Tyrese's vocal maturity. "That song is about a past relationship," he says. "It's about temper tantrums, but it's all working out. I think the subject is something everyone can relate to, and I

put my heart and soul into it." Another amazing cut, "How Do You

Want It," is a cover of the late Tupac's original version and was produced by Johnny Jackson, the song's original producer. Jermaine Dupri makes his production contribution on "Girl I Can't Help It" and "Somebody Special." "All Ghetto Girl" was written and produced by fellow R &B crooner Joe. The Trackmasters put their Midas touch on "Taking Forever," which, Tyrese says, "is another song based on my experience in life and particularly how I

felt before I had a record deal." Tyrese adds, "Every album is a listen-

ing biography for me. I have no choice but to pour my heart into the music. If I just went through something, I write about it. I'm a great listener. If a woman is talking about a situation she's been in, I can embrace her feelings and understand what she might be going through. I like getting to know people, and just one conversation can inspire me to write a song."

Definitely living up to the sex theme of the album is "Signs of Making Love," my personal favorite. "This is about the sexual experience I've had with women of different astrological signs of the zodiac," Tyrese says. Equally as sexual is "I Want You on Top of Me." Tyrese says that this songs fits in with what his audiences have come to expect from his live performances. "Some people have been a little shocked when they've been to my show, because it's upfront, very physical and very sexual," he explains. "For my first couple of records my image was more mature, but the movie Baby Boy was the perfect setup for me to show my true direction. What you get now is the same person on and off camera."

Tips On The Interview Process


GMs and PDs reveal what they're looking for in airchecks and interviews

Last week's Country column hopefully gave you the tools to develop a pristine resume. This week our in- trepid panelists reveal what they listen for in your aircheck and what they look for in packaging. Plus, these pros share some tips on acing the interview.

On hand again this week to offer their insights are Clear Channel /Jack- sonville OM Gail Austin; WCTO/ Allentown OM Chuck Geiger; WKHX & WYAY /Atlanta President/ GM Victor Sansone; Clear Channel Regional VP /Programming L.J. Smith; and Entercom /Rochester, NY

OM Dave Symonds, all of whom are currently or have recently been in hiring mode.

Is Anybody Listening?

Everybody has their own way of listening to airchecks and their own idea of what they're listening for. San- sone says, "I listen from the beginning and will stay on if I 'hear it,' if the person has a feel for the market or if it

meets my expectations. What I listen for varies according to need.

"In these times I like to hear a tempo that indicates you are prepared for

your show. Touch on various elements of what you do that you know should be important. Also, show that you're topical, can run the format and are quick on your feet and that you're the 'general' in the studio. Pauses and dead air or 'urns' tell me you're searching for content."

Another thing Sansone isn't impressed with is long interviews with artists. "I don't know why people put them in their package," he says. "They seem to go on forever, usually lack discipline and are full of people step- ping all over each other.

"Otherwise, I'm open to hearing all

that you think I need to hear that ex-

emplifies your major skills. I also de- fer to my managers and associates when we are really in the thick of it.

Everyone's opinion counts." When he slides a CD into the ma-

chine, Geiger says he listens from the start and continues "till I hear if they have what I'm looking for." What's he looking for? "We have a station built on personality and entertainment, and we have to hear that, and not selling 12 in a row."

"I look for a take -

charge personality

who is motivated by

dedication, passion

and creativity." Chuck Geiger

It's All About The Listener

Describing his aircheck -listening habits, Smith says, "The first 30 seconds tells me if I want more. If I'm still

listening after 30 seconds, I'll probably listen for another three minutes. If

I'm still listening at three minutes, you'll get a call from me for more.

"In the first 30 seconds I want to

know what this person is all about. Are they conservative? Liberal? Fun? Good with phones? Personable? And, most importantly, are they speaking to

the core audience in the listeners' ver- biage, not radio talk ?"

A half -minute is also about all the time you're going to get to keep Aus- tin from hitting "stop." She says, "I

listen from the beginning until I know - which is usually in the first 30 sec-

onds. If it's what I am looking for, I

stay. If not, I go." As for what she's listening for, she

explains, "A good way to assess tal-

ent is to take away everything the PD has given them - positioning state- ments, promos, liners, etc. - and see what's left. Once you strip away what's required, it really tells you what's there and what a talent has to

offer an audience. It's all about the sound and what they have to offer to

our listeners, our team, our market.

No need to send me a basketball because you want to be on my team."

As for the airchecks themselves, Austin says, "Big, long production introductions on the lip of an aircheck drive me crazy. Don't make me wade through your creative service guy's work. That tells me that you don't get that it ain't about you, it's about the listener. Your fancy effects and super - hyped name are not what interests them or me."

Symonds has a unique technique for reviewing airchecks. He explains, "While great on -air work is a require- ment, it's just one of many talents we look for in any hiring decision.

"So, while some candidates can be ruled out in a few seconds because their sound is so clearly not what the station needs, others are so right -on that you rule them in in a few seconds - meaning I pick up the phone and call them right away to dig into those other talents. If the conversation is

good, I'll listen to the rest of the tape."

Packaging The Message

Now that your tape is compelling and your resume pristine, the task at hand is putting it all together into a

neat little package. But how far do you go? Sansone says of packaging, "It's meaningless to me. Content is king. Overpackaged presentations drive me nuts.

"I'm not a big fan of pages of news and 'wow' articles. Balance and brev- ity win. I hate binders -I could open an Office Depot. Simple presentation folders will do. Use a CD and have a

folder that accommodates it so it's self -contained, with your name and all the numbers on the label."

Packaging isn't too important to Symonds, who adds the caveat, "Just make it look like you care."

Smith says, "It's important, but not as much as the content." What drives him nuts are "sloppy presentation and illiteracy." That's important to Geiger, too, whose pet peeve is applicants who have "no idea how to use a computer or lay out material."

As for following up on the package you sent, Smith cautions, "Be sen- sitive if the ad says 'No calls please.' There's usually a bigger reason for this than most would imagine.

"Don't kill yourself with me by dis- respecting my time and position. Don't keep calling - I know you're out there. I am working the timeline; I'll call you. You can gently remind me one week after you have submitted and then let me do my job."

The Interview OK. Your stellar T &R package did

its job and got you an interview. Now what?

Well, to start, Sansone has some very strong words of advice for those getting to this level of the process. "Never accept an interview unless you are prepared to take the job," he stresses. "This is huge to me. If you put your hand up in this league, you should know what you are prepared to endure and the changes it will put you through if you get the job. Other- wise, don't pitch it.

"So, talk to your significant other, decide on whether a move is feasible with your family circumstances and agree on a range of money that it will be worth doing it for. It's not a mys- tery. Do your homework on where you could be moving to before you get here.

"When the person says, 'Congrats, it's yours,' the next question from you should be, 'When can I start ?' Not, 'I

have to check with my wife, husband, shrink, dog, etc.' Why are you there, if not to get this gig? Haven't you talked this through ?"

"When the person

says, `Congrats, it's

yours,' the next

question from you

should be, `When

can I start?' Not, Ì

have to check with

my wife, husband,

shrink, dog, etc. "' Victor Sansone

"Be prepared" is more than a Boy

Scout motto when you reach this point in the job search. Offering an overview of the process at his company, Sy- monds says, "Our interview process is thorough.

"Each finalist talks to at least three other department heads. We want to make sure the candidate's talents ei-

ther complement those we already have or fill the holes. We also want to

be sure we all gel culturally and can communicate easily."

Ask Questions Regarding the interview, Austin

emphasizes, "It's where you win the gig, so pay attention and be yourself. Don't wear a tie or a skirt to the interview if you don't wear them on

the job. Once we're face to face, don't hold back - you don't have that kind of time.

"Tell me everything. What drives you? Tell me what you're about, what you have done and learned, what you have to offer. Don't be afraid to tell me what makes you crazy, because I am going to ask, and I will be impressed if you ask me what drives me crazy.

"You need to know as much about me, the team and the situation as I

need to know about you. This is where we roll up our sleeves and find out if

we can help each other. If you don't have the courage to do that, I won't have the courage to take a chance on you."

Austin seems to be suggesting that applicants meeting with prospective employers interview them. Our panel agrees. In fact, Symonds exclaims, "They'd be crazy not to!" Geiger says, "I love it." Smith adds, "I would hope they'd ask a ton of questions."

Providing some guidelines, San- sone notes, "I expect them to have rea-

sonable questions for me - philosophy, vision, company traits, etc. If you don't, it makes you look uninterest- ed."

Interview Do's And Don'ts

Our panel also provided some specific tips for your face -to-face encoun- ter. Asked what he looks for in a successful candidate, Smith says, "Intel- lect, willingness to be part of a team and, do I like this person ?" On his et-

iquette list: "Be on time, dress profes- sionally, ask a lot of questions. Don't be late, wear jeans or bad -mouth any of your former employers."

Geiger wants a "take- charge personality who is motivated by dedication, passion and creativity"

Our panel says prospective employers are not only impressed when you've done some research into their market, they actually expect it. In fact,

Geiger says he specifically asks applicants being interviewed to bone up on the market prior to any meeting.

Asked if he's impressed by advance homework, Smith replies, "Very. It

speaks volumes to how they will approach the battle." Austin encourag- es it as well, saying, "Do the market research. It tells me you are serious about the job, our team, our station and its environment."

Sansone says, "Know our market position, competitor and enough about our presentation to discuss it.

Don't talk so much that you forget to

listen though. Be focused on the content of the conversation. It is apparent in body language when you check out of a discussion because you're thinking of a response or a statement before I am even done making my point. Fi-

nally, relax. Be yourself, but don't try to entertain me. Have fun - this isn't surgery"

Finally, Sansone had this interesting bit of advice if you find yourself corning to the end of the interview but haven't been offered the gig: "If you don't get offered the job, ask for it any-

way. Show you really, really want this opportunity more than life itself. Sell

to make the interviewer commit. I

appreciate that passion."

NASHVILLE

Grammy Nods And An Ìmpossible' Streak Universal South newcomer Joe Nichols is enjoying a dream season

n music, as in sports, there are winning seasons and losing seasons. And new artists on Music Row are ac- customed to being warned, "Radio tours can be sheer hell. You'll be playing confers joints for a long time. And, some folks will have no idea a year's time, however, Univ Nichols has proven the pred

Thanks to incredible support at Country radio, Nichols' first single, "The Impossible," went to No. 1 he's the opening act on Alan Jackson's Drive tour, which gets back on the road Jan. 30; and now he's received Grammy nominations for Best Country Male Vocal performance for "The Impossible" and Best Country Album for his debut project, Man With a Memory. Not bad for a rookie.

Big Moments

That isn't to say that Nichols isn't facing some stiff competition when it comes to Grammy recognition. Being nominated in categories with the likes of The Dixie Chicks and Alan Jackson is heady stuff. In fact, for the 26- year -old Nichols, much of the last year must seem like a dream. "It's pretty ridiculous that we were so lucky," he admits.

Ridiculous, perhaps, but Nichols has long been on the radar of many people in the country industry, and he has the career highlights to show for it. "The Grammy nominations have to be the biggest thing of my career to date,' he says. "Being able to sing a bit of my song on the CMA Awards was a great moment. The song going No. 1, that w as pretty huge. But this outweighs them all."

With so many big moments crammed into one year, does Nichols worry about where he can possibly go frt+m here? "It certainly leaves expectations really high," he says. "I feel right now like I've gotten a huge Christmas gift. We're always wondering where to go from here. Certainly; when you hit land- marks like the Grammy nomina-

tions, you wonder, 'How do we sustain this momentum? How do we top this ?' I don't think it causes any fear, but it ups the stakes a bit."

How to keep up this pace may be more of a

concern, of course, when Nichols starts looking to

ols record a sophomore roject, but he says that's on the back urner for now. "We always contin-

ue the song- search process, but we don't have studio time booked just yet," he says.

"I would say one

goal is eventually to

be selling tickets in

mass quantities, to

eventually be

heading up our own

shows."

Far Afield

A native of Rogers, AR, Nichols has traveled far afield from his small hometown, which is more than an hour's drive from any large city. Raised by a single mother and a

truck- driving father who was also a

musician, he used to watch his fa-

ther play dates at VFW halls, where classic country hits carried the day.

Nichols realizes how far he has

"You wonder, `How

do we sustain this

momentum? How do

we top this ?' I don't

think it causes any

fear, but it ups the

stakes a bit."

come and that having so much success out of the gate makes him an easy target for critics and industry sniping. He's more cautious now about what he says in public, noting, "A person can really get away with a lot of mistakes early in their career, because the media attention is not as widespread. When one moves up to a certain level, it changes. I'm learning a lot - faster than I

should be learning things." Nichols is highly conscious of the

hazards of voicing certain things in public and is, he says, more aware of "topics of discussion, opinions, the emotional stuff that I'm passionate about." He says, "It's easy to distribute the wrong message."

Nichols' Grammy nods also make him a bit of a target for those who feel others have been passed over in

his favor, but he says, "The way to handle that is to realize the source and where it comes from. Put yourself in their shoes. Maybe you'd feel

the same way in their shoes. We

make it a point to take the high road and congratulate success and wish it for everybody. The only way to handle criticism is to move on and not really focus on it."

The Company He Keeps

Nichols is looking forward to his trip to New York for the Grammy Awards, set for Feb. 23 on CBS -TV,

and he certainly hopes to return to

Nashville with a statue or two. But,

January 17, 2003 R &R 43

he says, "I make it a point to be lev-

elheaded and realistic. We'll take what we can get, but this doesn't happen every day.

"We have been given a gift, and I

don't think we're altogether unrea- sonable to expect it to ever happen again. We always prepare ourselves for the best or the worst. We're gonna hope we come away with something, but if we don't come away with anything, we'll still have the hugest smiles on our faces."

Perhaps an even bigger cause to grin for Nichols is the company he's keeping these days. He'll be facing

competition at the Grammys from some country legends, including Johnny Cash, who is also up for Best

Male Country Vocal Performance. "We were just talking about that a

while ago," Nichols says. "He is one of the best ever. I've already won, just being in the category with him."

Nichols will also be competing against Alan Jackson, who has been somewhat of a mentor to him and who has given the young artist's career a big boost. "He's been a huge influence on me," Nichols says. "Alan is a good guy, and he's been incredibly nice to me.

"He was a big supporter of mine after hearing the album, and he gave us the opportunity to open for him on tour. That's a huge step for him,

to take on somebody like me, an unknown, and let me be in front of his crowd. That shows a lot of con-

fidence and recognition." So how would it feel to take a

Grammy Award against Jackson? Nichols replies, "It might be a little funny - me, a little of guy like this, fortunate to be in this spot. I look at Alan, and I say, 'You know, there's nothing I could do at this point to

be in his league. - Another Mountain

Nichols' Man With a Memory CD didn't hit stores until July 23, 2002,

but Nichols is confident that the at-

tention he has received is for the quality of what's contained on that project. "It all starts with the music,"

he says. "A lot of hard work went into what we did on the album. A

lot of people put in a lot of effort, and to see them get rewarded by the nominations is great. They worked very hard."

He's equally glowing about the team at Universal South and the support he's received from radio: "We've been incredibly lucky, especially with the radio success we've had. People took a lot of chances. At

the same time, it's a payoff for a lot

of hard work by people." Now the hard work of finding

another mountain to conquer begins. Nichols is trying to dream big, but he wants to stay grounded at the

same time. "Just keeping momentum right now is a huge task," he says. "We're gonna have all we can do to keep things like this happening as often as possible. We want to

keep working hard for big goals like

this. "I would say one goal is eventu-

ally to be selling tickets in mass quantities, to eventually be heading up our own shows. We're a ways off

from that, but that's a long -term goal we have. And we want to get the music out there to people in a big number."

For now, however, Nichols isn't trying to think too far down the road. "We've got all we can handle right now," he says. He'll be playing shows again at the end of Janu- ary, for the second leg of the Drive tour. And, of course, he'll be making a side trip to New York in Feb-

ruary, and he's hoping to have something a little extra in his suit- case on the return trip.

ADULT CONTEMPORARY

e're into the new year, and it's time to dig in and take Adult Contemporary radio to even greater heights. And who better to motivate and inspire programmers than Zapoleon Media Strategies' Guy Zapoleon? Below, Guy speaks candidly about the not -so- positive develop- ments that have apparently become acceptable norms. Hang on to your hats and read on for his philosophy on how to effect positive change in 2003.

The Zapoleon Music Cycle has returned to the Doldrums with a lot of similarities to the early '90s. During the Dol- drums mainstream AC traditionally explodes and Hot AC becomes the adult replacement for the

CHIZ has offered. a lot of passion from a lot Both Hot AC and mainstream AC of people, especially the really pas-

sionate former radio fans. are temporarily growing more conservative with new music because there simply isn't enough hit music for these formats to fill all the current categories. One caveat to this is that we're still not hearing all the good hit music on the radio.

According to Promosquad Hit Predictor (a new -music pretesting company), nearly 40% of the songs that could be top 20 aren't getting airplay because they are either not a label priority, are from a little la-

bel with no juice or are suffering due to programmers' prejudgment. Some of the songs are from unsigned bands and some are from bands that are part of a label's ros- ter but that are not being worked for various reasons.

A lot of the really creative people who have strong opinions about different and unique programming have been drummed out of the business because they don't agree with the cookie -cutter formulas that are being plugged into radio these days. At most stations you have over- worked programmers who are expected to program two or three stations instead of focusing their creative juices on making one radio station great.

You have poorly paid air talent who have to voicetrack 20 stations to make what they used to make as a full -time jock on one. When research, marketing and expert advice and mentoring from consultants are cut from the budget, the result is "Houston, we have a problem!"

Daniels, Tad Bonvie and an incredible programming department with one of America's best PDs, Greg Strassell.

There's also a great Asst. PD/ MD, Mike Mullaney, and the station has one of the best marketing people in the country in Anne Marie Strzelec- ki. WBMX has creative promotions, great event marketing and fantastic image television spots. It has an excellent Imaging Director in Damon Oaks, who uses some of the most creative production in America to sell the amazing promotions while adding humor and attitude to the station.

WBMX is under the leadership of a wise, creative and motivating manager, Mark Hannon, who understands that a great Hot AC is like a Mercedes Benz: You can have a frame roll off the assembly line, but unless you use the best materials

and then polish it and give it the proper maintenance, it won't be an excellent car that will last for years.

A great Hot AC radio station is the same thing: Without the proper tools and the right people using them and the proper care and maintenance, it won't be the top three 25-

54 ratings killer that WBMX has been year in and year out. Great managers like Hannon also believe in taking out insurance on their Mercedes by using research and good consultants. Bottom line: It takes a great team of talented people to make a great radio station.

act to a new competitor's potential 10 -in -a -row threat, Mickey Franko and Steve Berger allowed us to do it. That wouldn't happen today. There are times when you can't deliver double -digit cash -flow growth. There are times when you need to reinvest in a product to protect it during its inevitable down cycle. Publicly owned companies don't have the leeway to do that. Radio has to get back to operating with the intent of entertaining first - or lose its franchise.

When I was part of the "Brat Pack," along with people like Steve Perun, who now runs his own SP Inc. consultancy out of Minneapo- lis, and Brian Thomas, who's currently at KFRC -FM /San Francisco, we were a group of programmers who evaluated songs on their mer- it, not on what was being worked. We broke a lot of left -field songs, some by unsigned bands and some that were bring -backs.

Many of these became national hits, and most of them became hits for our individual stations. We were hounded by the industry because we took chances, but it was because we knew that our success - and even our survival - was based on playing the best music possible, regardless of where it came from.

All three of us programmed double -digit stations that were No. 1 in their markets because we used our ears, never compromised our product on any level and always played the best possible music, no matter where it came from.

Interpreting Charts

Don't blindly follow national rotation charts. These charts are a mix- ture of radio stations from diverse cities with different competitive en- vironments. I see more and more stations looking at national charts and ignoring their own callout. They rotate songs that are stiffing in their own research and power songs that are national hits, feeling that their callout is wrong and that the bulk of the country represented by the national chart is right.

The problem is that everyone is watching everyone else instead of looking for patterns in their own research. Combine that with spinning songs for tempo and the huge influence of spinning songs for promotions and you get a very stilted pic-

ture when you rely too heavily on national charts for information.

While the biggest hits are certainly hits, the A and B songs differ depending on the marketplace. You can't get that information without good local callout. More important, though, is how you interpret that information. This means not judg- ing a song after three callout reports. If your ears believed a song was a

hit in the beginning, stick with it until it has been on at least six weeks in full-time rotation.

A recent R &R headline stated that the FCC had opened a proceeding to explore the issue of a "do not call" registry. This could potentially affect radio -related firms that rely heavily on telephone research. It could wreak havoc on traditional callout companies that try to generate results from the telephone.

Therefore, I believe you'll see more Internet music research, like that from Pinnacle Media Manage- ment's Online Tracker. Again, we are in the musical Doldrums right now, so it's all about finding the biggest hits so that both the radio and record industries can survive this tough musical time.

Promoting The Hits There is so much pressure to play

songs in return for promotions and promotional dollars that many of the real hits are never given a chance. There was a song recently that showed top 10 to 15 potential at every station that tested it, but the label gave up on it right at the point that it would have broken through.

Why? Because it had taken 20 weeks to establish, and the label was no longer willing to spend the huge promotion dollars. When the label got iffy, most of the stations gave up in order to put on the next song that they were being pressured to add.

We need to get back to using our ears and sticking with songs that we believe in if they show this kind of potential. Two formats lost a good A or strong B song this month. When you add that up over a year, you see that each format is 10 % -20% weaker because it plays inferior songs instead of playing real hits that labels give up on or that lack label support.

It's time to use your ears. There are a lot of great songs out there that

Provide The Best Product Continued from Page 49

It's time to use your ears. There are a lot of great songs out there that never get a chance, either because they are major - label nonpriorities, unreleased album cuts, on little labels or from unsigned bands. When I was programming, I took chances on songs my ears told me were real hits. When these songs didn't come through on the first two callout reports, I

stuck with them for at least eight weeks until they did or until I was sure, through my callout, that they weren't going to.

Break The Rules I can't tell you how many songs came through after the

fourth callout report (in seven to eight weeks). Whether it

was low priorities, album cuts or bring -backs like UB40's "Red Red Wine" and Sheriff's "When I'm With You," my ears were right most of the time when it came to picking hits for my radio station.

If you have that ability, you should use it. There are a lot of great songs out there for both Hot AC and AC, but unless you spend time listening to music, you won't be able to pick the best songs.

Promosquad Hit Predictor is a tool to help radio and records. It pretests thousands of songs a year - all of the labels' releases, as well as album cuts and songs from unsigned bands. The system is nearly 100% accurate. Hit Predictor has already worked with most of the major labels to improve the industry's batting average. Radio will benefit greatly from being turned on to potential hits early and having the confidence to stick with them.

As my friend Dale Weber used to say, there are three phases in the life span of any enterprise:

1. Make the rules (at the start). 2. Keep the rules (during the successful years). 3. Break the rules (when the rules no longer work). We are in Stage 3! The radio and record industries need to

break the rules that we've been following. The current rules have gotten us to where we are now, where we will soon be struggling to keep our businesses alive. Let's break those rules and adopt some new ones, rules that focus on creating the best possible music and providing the best possible radio for our consumers so that we can experience a rebirth for both.

Fun is the most important thing. If

you aren't having fun, your listeners aren't having fun, and pretty soon Arbitron is all like, "What listeners ?"

Ew. Mix 103.1 listeners have to be

working all day, so we are in charge of the fun department! Favorite songs

and squishing all the variety of the ra-

dio station into each and every quarter -hour is top priority. The Dixie

Chicks' "Landslide" is huge. I sang along with it on

my first listen, and now women call me singing along

in the car. We're also getting good phones on "The Game of Love" - "Knocking down the door of your candy store "? Yum! Love that Santana. "I'm With You"

is my new favorite grrl ballad. That Avril just kicks "I'm not afraid to be who I am" booty. Diggin' the John Mayer "Your Body Is a Wonderland." That song is

saucy! Dave Matthews' "Grey Street" is definitely a song to pay at-

tention to if you aren't already on it like white on rice. Totally a theme song of the week for me. Remember to have fun! Lots of sparkly

snowflakes from Alaska!

antana are No. 1 again on the Hot

C chart with "The Game of Love"

(Arista), featuring Michelle Branch ...

Columbia's Pete Cosenza is competing

with himself: The Dixie Chicks move 4-

3* with "Landslide" (Monument /Colum-

bia), knocking John Mayer's "Your Body Is a Wonderland" (Aware /Colum-

bia) down to 4* ... Avril Lavigne vaults 14 -9* with her third hit, "I'm

With You" (Arista) ... The rest of the Hot AC chart is relatively stable,

although Kid Rock moves 15 -13* with "Picture" (Atlantic), featuring

Sheryl Crow ... Puddle Of Mudd's "She Hates Me" (Flawless /Geffen/

Interscope) debuts at No. 38; Coldplay's "Clocks" (Capitol) is the other

new entry, at No. 39 ... Over at AC, the chart returns to normal, a

two -week trend with our full panel of 119 reporters. Faith Hill is on

top again with "Cry" (Warner Bros.); the rest of the top 10 remains

relatively unchanged. The biggest move of the week goes to Chris-

tina Aguilera's "Beautiful" (RCA), which moves 20 -17* ... Regie

Hamm gets this week's big AC debut with "Babies" (Universal South),

debuting at No. 26. - Anthony Acampora, Director/Charts

artist ARTIST: Keith Urban

LABEL: Virgin By MIKE TRIAS /ASSISTANT EDITOR

If you're not familiar with the name Keith Urban, ask anyone who's a fan

of country music; they'll vouch for his talent. In late 2002 Urban released his sophomore effort, Golden Road, and the hit single "Somebody Like You," which rose to No. 1 on R &R's Country chart and remained there for an astounding eight weeks. Now Urban's "Somebody" moves to AC and Hot AC as the featured single from the soundtrack to the upcoming film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, arriving in theaters Feb. 7. The soundtrack hits stores Jan. 28 via Virgin Records, and Ur- ban appears courtesy of Capitol Nashville.

Urban hails from rural Australia, and he's still a country boy. Growing up in the farm town of Cabooluture, Urban knew by

age 7 - just one year after beginning to learn guitar - that his life's path would lead to Nashville. At 8 years old he began winning country music talent shows, and four years later he was booking his band regularly at local clubs.

Urban later moved to Nashville, making his mark on Music Row with his guitar playing and his mastery of the six - string banjo. After playing on albums for Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks, he began earning acclaim as an accom- plished songwriter, and he solidified his status as a solo artist with the release of his self -titled debut album in '99. Urban's career reached a new peak at the 2001 Country Music Association Awards, when he won the prestigious Horizon Award - an honor bestowed on someone who has never won a CMA before and who has made the most significant progress as an artist over the past year.

"Somebody Like You" is a good match for How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days, assuming the romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey has a happy ending. Says Urban about the uplifting ditty, "When I finished the song, I really liked the fact that it was positive. I didn't realize I had baggage that I had to let go of, but I guess I do, because it came out in the song.

"What I like, too, about that is that you can read a double meaning into the line 'I want to love somebody like you.' At the time I wrote it, I really had people who loved me, and I wanted to love myself like they did. So, 'I want to love somebody like you' means I want to love somebody the way you love somebody. It took on a stronger meaning."

Like Urban's debut album, Golden Road has achieved Gold status. The artist credits co- producer Dann Huff for pushing Urban's guitar playing to new levels and helping the project have a more "live band" feel compared to his first. Urban broadened his horizons with different influences on Golden Road and feels he was able to integrate more Aussie influence into his music on this album - an influence he initially thought would alienate American audiences. He says, "The last record was more about letting people get to know me a little bit, and this one is, hopefully, letting more of myself out. It's kind of like the sixth time you meet your girlfriend's parents."

SMOOTH JAZZ

The Concert To Heal Bali Dave Koz and musical cohorts walk the walk to restore peace and stability

On Oct. 12, 2002, the tranquility of the idyllic Indo- nesian island of Bali was shattered when bombs ex- ploded in two nightclubs, claiming the lives of more than 200 people. With nearly 2 million international visitors each year, tourism is Bali's primary industry, but the terrorist bombings brought it to a virtual standstill.

On Dec. 30, 2002 saxo- phonist Dave Koz, who organized last year's A

Wave of Peace: The Unity

Concert for KTWV (The Wave) /Los Angeles, performed with artists Bren- da Russell, Jeff Lorber and Phil Perry at a media extravaganza to contribute to the healing process once again, this time on behalf of the Balinese people.

Koz and Lorber have played gigs together in Bali through the years, and

both have Balinese friends. "The people were devastated by the bombings," Lorber says. "Dave and I talked

about how we wanted to do something to help, but neither of us imag- ined we'd get the chance so quickly."

Dave

"Americans look

outside to ask what's

wrong with people

who could do such a

thing to us; the

Balinese look inward

to learn what they

might have done to

create the attack." Dave Koz

Koz explains that a longtime friend

of his, an Indonesian businessman and ardent smooth ja77 fan named Peter Gontha, contacted him with an urgent request.

"I had just finished my Christmas tour when Peter called," Koz recalls.

"He said the attacks had devastated

Koz

the economy and left enormous emotional scars. He

explained that the government was completely behind the concert and that the concert could be the first step in a long healing process that might take many years, but that it had

to start somewhere. "My friends and family

asked me how I could go

someplace so dangerous. But, having

been to Bali, somehow I knew it

would be OK."

500 Performers

The concert, which was broadcast live on Indonesian television, reached an immense viewing audience - In-

donesia is the world's fourth -most- populous country. The concert was held at Bali's Cultural Center, GWK, a former stone quarry.

Lorber describes the venue as "incredible," reminiscent of Colorado's fabled Red Rocks Amphitheater in its

majesty; Koz compares it

to the Acropolis in Athens. Understandably, security at the event was extremely tight.

In addition to Koz and Lorber (who served as Mu-

sical Director, as he did for A Wave of Peace), Brenda Russell, Phil Perry and guitarist "Wah Wah" Watson performed for 4,000 in-

vited guests, including Indonesian President Megawati and members of the Indonesian Parliament, some of whom joined the artists onstage during the show's finale.

A coterie of Indonesian pop superstars, a gamelan orchestra, 300 traditional Indonesian dancers and a 40-

piece orchestra brought the number of performers who appeared to close to

500. Lorber says conductor Erwin Guta-

wa's exceptional orchestral arrange- ments elevated each of the set's songs,

especially those with universal themes

of peace and brotherhood such as

"lt was important to

inspire tourists to

return to Bali, but it

seemed just as

important to give the

Balinese hope that

people would come

back and everything

would be OK."

Brenda Russell

"What's Goin' On" and Perry's powerful medley of "Imagine" and "Hey Jude" - which almost blew the roof off Los Angeles' Forum when he sang it during A Wave of Peace.

Russell gave a stirring reading of "Change the World," which she sang

at the special request of the Balinese government, and performed her composition "Get Here." She says she felt emotionally overwhelmed at the time - on one hand joyful to be in

Bali, but also in pain over the suffering, such as that

of a friend of hers who owns a small hotel.

"He told me 25 jobs are

attached to every hotel room," she says. "Hotel occupancy dropped from 90% to 10% after the

bombing. It was important to inspire

tourists to return to Bali, but it seemed just as important to instill hope in the

Balinese that people would come back and that everything would be

OK. "We met people who thought the

world didn't care what had happened, that the bombings were just a two -day

news item. I told Indonesian report-

ers that was definitely not the case."

Abiding Memories

It comes as no surprise that such an

event leaves an indelible mark in an

artist's heart. "Even if it sounds like a

Brenda Russell


cliche, any time you can use your tal-

ent as an ambassador of goodwill or

to facilitate any kind of healing, that's the most wonderful thing," Koz says. "With music, there is something in-

tangible that gives great comfort. "When I first came from beneath

the stage on a hydraulic lift, I was playing a famous Indonesian song called `Keliru' with a full symphony orchestra and surrounded by 300 Ke-

cak dancers. I could barely play the

sax because it was so emotional for

me. Here was this country I love so

much, a country that had been through so much pain, and there I was with my

friends to play music to help the heal-

ing. "I love doing broad strokes, but any

time you take even a small step, you change the world."

Lorber says, "I'm not very into holiday family rituals, but a lot of peo-

ple are, so I was surprised how everyone was so up for doing the concert. Everyone who participated left the U.S. on Christmas and returned Jan.

2. They were completely willing to

sacrifice the holiday to make it come together. They weren't afraid of the

terrorist threat. "After traveling to Bali a few times

myself, I know the country is so spe-

cial and unique. I feel privileged to

participate in something to help its

people."

The Power Of Music

Koz and Russell de- layed their departure from Bali to spend a day with 30

children, including some who were orphaned as a

result of the bombings, and to visit a hospital where the injured received medical treatment. (Today it functions as a burn ward for survivors, as well as a

morgue.) The head doctor showed us

around the hospital, which was pretty harrowing," Koz says. Some vic-

tims were so badly mutilated by the

blasts that their bodies couldn't be identified or claimed.

"We're used to hospitals in the U.S.,

and this one was primitive by com-

parison. I admire the courage of the

hospital workers who faced what they

did head -on. We congratulated them and thanked them for everything they

had done. "The kids at the orphanage were

between 7 and 17 years old. They put on a beautiful show. They sang and danced for us; we sang and danced for

them. I played along with their songs. Then we all had lunch together and talked."

Russell remembers the excursion to the orphanage as the richest, most rewarding part of the trip. "We fell

in love with them, and they fell in

love with us," she says of the children. "It was glorious! We weren't even speaking the same language, but that shows how powerful music is. You can't imagine all the hugs we

gave and got or their intensity."

Looking Inward

Russell is also passionate about how the concert for Bali fits into her worldview. "I'm feeling the whole planet, which is something many of

us seem to be lacking," she says. "But it's not our fault, because we're not being shown. If only we could open up a little bit to the rest of the world."

"I talked to a lot of Balinese during the trip, including a very close friend and his family," Koz concludes. "It was so interesting to hear their perspectives. Americans look outside to

ask what's wrong with people who could do such a thing to us;

the Balinese look inward to

learn what they might have done to create the at-

tack. "As Hindus, they be-

lieve in karma, so they look

within themselves to question the reasons, such as whether their country grew too fast or whether they took their eyes off the

things that matter most - their cul-

tural and religious beliefs - which caused Bali to grow so dramatically and quickly under the influence of the

dollar. "Maybe it would be productive for

Americans to look within, too, and ask, 'Why does the world hate us ?"

Jeff L orber

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Dave Koz and Brenda Russell extended their visit

to Bali to visit children orphaned by the nightclub bombings. At the orphanage,

the artists and youngsters performed together before they ate lunch. Russell,

who snapped this shot, says, "They fell in love with us, and we fell in love with

them. lt was glorious!"

- . SMOOTH JAZZ

I simply dig Mjndi Abair's new single, "Lucy's," which exudes uniqueness from the opening strains of the attitude - drenched guitar riff to the expressive saxophone improvisation at the fade- out. We added "Your Sweet Smile" by Gregg Karukas. The gentle, melodic beauty of "Your Sweet Smile" unfolds in tiers and nearly brings one to tears, as the tune was likely played with im-

ages of Gregg's late mother in mind. Our comment in the meeting was, "If we're looking to add the quintessential smooth jazz tune of the bunch, then it would be 'Your Sweet Smile. - Bob Baldwin's "The Way She Looked

at Me" is an embraceable combination of smooth rhythm and jazzy groove. The bassline is salsa -laden, seductive and sunny, with Bob's piano laying down a relaxed, cordial conversation en Espanol.

* We also have a new tune from Chieli Minucci, "Kickin' It Hard." I

like the eclectic, new -millennium feel. It's bright, and Chieli's performance is a well- etched composition, with plenty of saxophone woven into his bold musical fabric.

What an absolutely fantastic first week for Mindi Abair! Her debut

single, "Lucy's" (GRPNMG), is so Most Added with 19 new adds. (This follows last week's premature adulation, which earned the track No. 1 Most Added in advance of its official add date!) No question about it, "Lucy's" is a smash. Gonzo airplay consensus includes adds on these top 10- market stations: WNUA/Chicago, KKSF /San Francisco, WJJZ/Philadelphia, WJZW/Washington, WLVE/Miami and KOAI /Dallas, plus adds on WSSM /St. Louis, KCIY /Kansas City, JRN and more ... Two tracks tie for No. 2 Most Added with seven adds each: Bob Baldwin's "The Way She Looked at Me" (Narada) and Kim Waters' "Wa- terfall" (Shanachie). Baldwin earns airplay support, with adds such as those at WVMV /Detroit and KJZY /Santa Rosa, CA, which just won a phenomenal No. 3 12+ with a five share in the fall book! Waters gains adds on WQCD /New York and WJJZ/Philadelphia, among others ... GRP scores big - time with another fantastic entry, Al Jarreau's "Random Act of Love," which earns third Most Added with six adds, including WQCD, KJCD /Den- ver, KCIY with 17 plays and JRN. Jarreau turns in a bravura performance on a phenomenal, ultrasmooth pop tune that sounds to me as hooky - and lyrically meaningful - as any vocal in recent memory. "Random Act of Love" is like a tonic for whatever ails you ... Things remain hot for Warner Bros. as Boney James' "Grand Central" (Warner Bros.) bows in the top 10 at 7 *, Steve Cole's "Off Broadway" moves 7 -6 *, and Bob James' "Morn- ing, Noon Er Night" moves to 4* and No. 1 Most Increased with +61 plays.

The Rock Dilemma

ROCK

A mainstream programmer reacts to Rock's challenges

T he following letter is from WKLC/Charleston, WV PD Mike Rappaport, who responds to the Dec. 13, 2002 Rock column "Does the Format's Duality Cover the Bases ?"

You pointed out that the 2002 top 100 at Rock included some familiar names - Tam Petty, The Rolling Stones, Rush, etc. You also noted that many of these bands were in the 50 -100 range.

You state that Rock "pounds only bands that have been proven at Active Rock and then plays them well beyond useful recurrent status." What you see as a problem isn't one for programmers who care only about building the TSL of their audience.

We're in the business of playing hits. Listeners like what they like and buy what they like, regardless of how the music industry labels their favorite songs (current, recurrent, gold, etc). If that means I'm playing a record heavily that the music industry deems a recurrent, so be it.

Playing new music can be a double-edged sword. The music usual - :y requests and sells well in the first few weeks on the playlist, but then üt falls off the radar. Paul McCart- ney's song celebrating American patriotism came and went. It was a

fad, and most McCartney fans will cheer louder for "Hey Jude" and ` "Band on the Run" than they will for any new song Sir Paul releases.

Few Legends Matter Today

Is Rock "slow to embrace the legendary artists of the format "? Per- haps some stations are. Or maybe what they're doing is recognizing that an artist having legendary sta-

tus or being a brand name doesn't make his or her songs hits. If you asked me right now, I'd be hard - pressed to name an album from a heritage artist released in the last four to five years that still tests well enough to warrant significant airplay.

Being a legend doesn't matter when the music you release doesn't appeal to your fan base. U2 found that out the hard way by re- leasing albums like Pop and Zooro-

pa, which didn't strike a chord with their listeners. After a slump in ticket and album sales, the band released an album in 2002 that finally gave the people more of what they wanted. Is it any surprise that All That You Left Behind is one of the best -selling albums in U2's career? Not really.

I'd love to see Tom Petty, Neil Young, The Wallflowers and Rush captivate listeners the way they used to. The simple fact is, they don't with their new music. When

STYX IN D MINOR Tenacious D re orded backing vocals for the song "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye" on Styx's new album, Cyclorama, which will be released in February on Sanctuary Records. Seen here in the studio are (l -r) Styx vocalist- guitarist Tommy Shaw, Tenacicus D's Jack Black, Styx drummer Todd Sucherman and Tenacious D's Kyle Gass.

you ask programmers to get behind these bands and really spin them, you have to remember that, in many, cases we did, and our return on the investment wasn't all that good.

As for some other heritage artists (Sammy Hagar and Chris Robinson come to mind), we're cautious. We

see that they don't have the star power they had in their heydays, so they don't get the automatic adds or heavy airplay that used to be their birthrights.

Of the big heritage artists who released albums or singles in 2002, two (The Rolling Stones and Aero- smith) buried their newest songs on two-CD best -of collections. Yes, that puts new music into the fans' hands, but you don't expect "Girls of Sum- mer" to be the reason fans buy the album; not when they have "Sweet Emotion," "Back in the Saddle" and 26 other hits before they even find the new song.

Another heritage artist experienced a brief surge in airplay when a smart DJ put clips from his reality show over his latest single. That made Ozzy Osboume accessible to a whole new audience.

But these are examples of people who are exceptional at per- forming and marketing their art. They have found a way to remain valid, household names in between their hits, which don't come as of-

ten as they used to. For a lot of heritage artists, we played the songs, we back -sold the album titles, and the listeners didn't buy it.

Consumers Want Hits

We live in a world where the albums are longer, the hits get played ad nauseum and fame is fleeting. Led Zeppelin's plan in the 1970s was to release a new album and tour every two years. At the time you could fit less than 50 minutes of music on an album. They took the very best of their recording sessions and released them, and we received incredibly deep albums with several hits.

Today you can fit 80 minutes on a CD - nearly twice as much as we used to get. It's not easy to find an album that's even half -full of hits. When you do find an album like that, it gets played to death. Some- times the band survives (Creed), sometimes it doesn't (Hootie And The Blowfish).

January 17, 2003 R &R 59

The consumers want hits, and they're perfectly willing to show their disapproval at the cash register. Today, when the music fans are paying a high price for CDs, it's no surprise that albums with only one or two hits wind up in the used CD bins or that the deep albums lose

money to a music -hungry, download -happy customer base.

The record industry is not high on heritage either. How many once -re- vered bands are now on small labels? How many heritage bands get pushed to the back of the line behind today's new stars? I've had many conversations with record reps who say, "We know you'll get around to playing (fill -in -the -blank heritage artist). What we really want from you is an add on (new project /baby band that my boss is shoving down my throat)."

Losing Label Dollars

Will we find ourselves "without access to record -company pocket- books"? Of course! Record- company consolidation and dropping sales have forced the industry to adjust its bottom line. VPs and CEOs answer to a board of directors that won't wait three albums to see an artist develop, gamer significant airplay and generate enough profit to justify the money it takes to market the product. Imagine Bruce Spring - steen or John Mellencamp trying to get their start today.

Programmers know that record labels see spins vs. dollars as an obvious equation. Play it more, and you get more. But sometimes, sitting in market 150 -plus, even that doesn't help, because the budget was spent in the top 50 mar <ets.

An artist having

legendary status or

being a brand name

doesn't make his or

her songs hits.

Should it matter? My job is to get listeners and keep them. If I see their interest in a formerly successful band waning, I will be sure to slow rotations or keep a song off the station until I see some signs of life, no matter how many free trips you throw at me to see the band in Ha- waii.

In the interest of trying to find the next hit and appealing to the fans of heritage bands, we do play these groups' new singles. In many cases we give them airplay comparable to the biggest hits in the format.

I guess the big question is, when have we played them enough to know that we're giving top billing to a stiff? We have consultants and research; we have listeners scream-

ing, "Play that again," or, "Their new tunes suck - play some of their old stuff."

It's not a matter of shooting ourselves in the foot with this stance. First of all, record -company support isn't as high for bands like The Roll- ing Stones, because we're expected to play them heavily. We'll never reap a promotional reward for playing them as high as the one we could get for pounding unproven artists A, B and C. Second, I don't have free rein to do whatever I please.

We're in the

business of playing

hits. Listeners like

what they like and

buy what they

like, regardless of

how the music

industry labels their

favorite songs.

Research Rules

Should a Rock programmer put a record into power rotation because of gut instinct and the added revenue from a label? I have a corporate hierarchy to answer to, and so do most programmers. Whether it's a

board of directors, a consultant or even a single owner, that license to broadcast on the FM dial is a multi- million- dollar business. Many programmers need a solid base of research before the music goes on.

When very few records research well enough to warrant keeping them in the library along with the gold cuts that scored through the roof in the last auditorium test, I

have to come up with a very good reason for playing them 300 -plus times. And my answer better not be that it tested well in another market or format or, "But we've always played Joe Schmo's new records in power."

No one should tell me that I

should step out on an unknown commodity, or even a commodity with a past track record but no current story. Just because the label tells me about top 10 research in Kalamazoo doesn't mean it's got a hit. I don't tell

record labels which bands to sign, which singles to market or what tours to put them on. If my business is successful, why change? I'll have to justify my changes if they don't work (and sometimes when they do).

- -.É; I know everyone expects label reps to talk about their own projects, and I'm absolutely going to do that. I just can't help myself. Wind -up has some amazing music this year, and almost all of it is headed straight to Rock, so you should be the first to know about it. The Daredevil soundtrack features Fuel, Saliva, Seether, Nickelback, Drowning Fool f /Rob Zombie, Moby,

Chevelle, Hoobastank, Finger Eleven, Boysetsfire, 12 Stones and at least half a dozen more artists who matter to your station. All the music is new or previously unreleased. The soundtrack hits stores Feb. 4. Fuel's "Won't Back Down" should already be on your airwaves. This single is a great rock sound from a band that has delivered multiple hits to Rock radio, and we're hearing from lots of programmers how good it

sounds on the air. Also worth a listen is Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life." Like Fuel, it is featured in the movie trailers and advertising. "BMTL" is absolutely exploding at "Modern" - are you getting requests for it? a Seether - one of the breakthrough artists of 2002 - continues on a winning streak in 2003. While "Fine Again" grows at the top of the charts, waiting in the wings is "Driven Under," which will impact sometime in late February or early March. Seether continue to tour with a tremendous live show. Thank you for your support in launching this band. Do yourself a favor and get out to see Boysetsfire. They're one of the most compelling bands to come our way in a long time. If "Release the Dogs" (coming in mid -March) doesn't react on your station. check the transmitter! Later this year we will have new music from Finger Eleven (I get asked about new music from this band more than any other) and a new mix of "Crash" from 12 Stones (they've already scanned over 150,000 albums on their debut). * Finally, if anyone one from Interscope /Nu American is reading this, please send me the Thicke album! I've been seeking out this music since last summer when I saw the really brilliant video for "When I Get You Alone." Rock guys and gals, if you want to get your groove on, check it out too.

ECM:1i NS ..,

Shanna Fischer Sr. VP/Promotion, Wind -up .

Rboadrunner /IDJMG kicks off the first ig add week of the year with 53

adds (34 Actives, 19 Rock) on Theory Of A Deadman's "Make Up Your Mind" ... Foo Fighters picked up 33 adds (21 Actives, 12 Rock) a week before their official add date. "Times Like These" is a perfect Rock song, and smart programmers aren't going to let their Alternative counterparts co -opt the band ... Both Finch ( "What It Is to Burn ") and Stereomud ( "Breath- ing ") got decent starts at Active this week with Trapt's "Headstrong" is making some nice inroads as it debuts on the Rock chart this week. A lot of programmers have told me that this record is their pick to make it for the long haul. The track is also chipping away at the top 20 at Active.

LABEL: Lava By FRANK CORREIA /ROCK SPECIALTY EDITOR

Not many songs, especially from new bands, are first- listen no- brainers,

but Louisville -based group Outspoken have clearly lived up to their name with their debut single, "Farther." Many Ac- tive Rockers seem to agree, with quality, double -digit spins from stations like WQBK/Albany, NY and KXXR /Minne- apolis propelling the new group up the Active chart.

For the uninitiated, think Staind left out in the Cold. David "E" Frazier's melodic and drama -drenched lyrics are accented by watery guitar flourishes from guitarists Kevin McCreery and Shaun Kennedy. The straightforward rhythms provided by bassist Frank Green and drummer Donnie Highland provide a solid perch from which the soaring chorus takes flight.

Although the group sound like they've been playing together since elementary school. Outspoken's formation took a rather twisted, and long, path. It all started when Louisville -based Frazier tried to make his musical mark in Nash- ville, only to tell his producer to "Eat shit and die" for mixing too much country into his vocals. He then turned to his brother, who was known for discovering Univer- sal rockers Flaw, to help him find a guitar player. The brothers posted an online ad looking for six- stringers.

They got mail: one response. Fortu- nately, it was McCreery, who drove 600 miles from Saginaw, MI to collaborate

with Frazier. Soon, McCreery sold everything he owned and relocated to Nash- ville, and the duo were writing Out - spoken's debut while searching for the perfect band. Oddly enough, Louisville favorites What Ever Will were calling it a day, and the group's Kennedy, High- land and Green joined up with Frazier and McCreery, who began commuting from Nashville to Louisville every other week before moving there permanently. For a band that had yet to be on the road, the miles added up.

But their biggest trip was still in front of them. Within three months Lava Records came calling, and by the end of the year the band were heading to Seattle to record their debut, Bitter Shovel, with Rick Parashar (Unwritten Law, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam). Apparently, the sessions went well. "I think we're a kick -ass band," Frazier says. "We can stand up to anybody out there."

"When we're on the road, I want to get thrown off of tours because we're blowing away the headliner," McCreery adds. Looks like they picked the right name.

Hello. Again.

ALTERNATIVE

Drunken New Year's revelry leads to massive hangover - and a new job

I'm saying ... I'm saying I -I'm an insect ... who dreamt he was a man ... and loved it. But now the dream is over ... and the insect is awake. - Jeff Goldblum as Seth Brundle, The Fly

It's possible my champagne was spiked. I'll never know. There's no backing out now, however. Con- tracts signed in blood and such. You

get the picture. Like David facing Goliath, I have chosen once again to

pit myself against that immutable, immovable, inevitable weekly deadline. Except that David didn't have to face Goliath every week at the same hour, and in this scenario Dav- id never wins.

Ah, yes, any moment now the art department will figure out the nightmarish implications of this hire. My fellow editors will try to have me confined to an underground bunker while scrambling to find Max Von Sydow's phone number for a final exorcism. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

To get a better understanding of why I'm behaving like a groundhog poking my head out to see if we're going to endure another year of nuclear winter in the radio and record biz, I've decided to interview myself. Now, this is not as unusual as it seems. It's pretty much what I do all the time anyway (my doctor re-

fuses to give me the lithium -Prozac cocktail I've been demanding). Ready? Max One will interview Max Two

"I'd like to throw out

my opinion that we,

in this format, are in

the golden age of

rock right now. Only

we're too close to

the battle to see the

big picture."

Max One: Why have you once again

darkened the doorstep of this format? Max Two: The format needs me. Max One: Awfully presumptuous of

you, don't you think?

Max Two: I am the repository of all knowledge and wisdom in this format.

Max One: Um, I believe that honor

goes to Mr. Weatherly....

Max Two: Perhaps. But he's busy right now.

Max One: What about - Max Two: They're all busy! Lis-

WEST BERLIN Steve West, host of XTRA (91X) /San Diego's Resurrection

Sunday, invited Terri Nunn from '80s sensations Berlin to the station for a

close -talking reminisce this past weekend. No reports that the Cold War was

discussed.

ten, are you going to ask me good questions, or not?

Max One: Why have you once again

darkened the doorstep of this format? Max Two: Wanna talk about

dark? There's too much doom and gloom right now. The entire industry sounds like they've been partying at Darth Vader's house. True, many people we know and respect from both sides of the fence are on their way to "the beach" for a little time out, but let's not forget that we play wet nurse to a "Hungry Hit Monster" that needs to be fed every hour. That means there needs to be a constant flow of new music.

Sure, we can all engage in a heat- ed debate about old vs. new business models, the scourge of file swapping, Internet skullduggery, satellite radio and the need for the

Osboumé s dogs to have their own spinoff show on Animal Planet, but until our radios are removed from home and office and car by atomic particle -sized nanobots injected into

our ear canals playing only custom designed soundwaves tuned to our specific DNA patterns, you're still

going to happily take calls from Howard Leon.

Once again (as I have in years past), I'd like to throw out my opinion that we, in this format, are in the golden age of rock right now. Only we're too close to the battle to see the big picture. There are more stations playing more new music than ever before. Even the formerly moribund mainstream Rock formats have caught a contact high from Alterna- tive.

Please remember the lesson of

AOR /Rock radio of the late '70s and '80s. Alternative radio rose out of the

near self- destruction of mainstream Rock radio.

Formerly "progressive" (early Stone Age term for "alternative ")

radio stations tightened up to gain a larger share of the audience, then grew older with that audience, then became homogenized. By the mid - '80s most Rock stations were down to three or four currents per hour glued together by increasingly irrel-

evant recurrents and gold. Max One: So what's your point?

Max Two: So far, as of 2003, Al-

ternative radio has not made the same mistake. This month marks

the 20th anniversary of my alma mater, XTRA (91X) /San Diego. And of course, KROQ /Los Angeles, as an Alternative entity, is even older. They,

and all of their progeny, are still cur-

rent- intensive properties, vibrant and full of life. Combine them with the

revitalized Rock and Active Rock sta-

tions, and you're talking about a lot

of outlets exposing new music.

"There's too much

doom and gloom

right now. The entire

industry sounds like

they've been

partying at Darth

Vader's house."

Max One: So what's your point? Max Two: Stop whining. Max One: Me?

Max Two: No, everyone else. Al-

though, to be fair, not everyone is

whining. But I'm back because I am

concerned. Max One: About what?

Max Two: The lack of fun.

Max One: Oh, give me a break! You

think you can single -handedly do any-

thing about that?

Max Two: Don't be so negative. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Also, I do want to tackle the weighty issues of musical diversity within the format, the search for new talent and the search for new musical trends.

Max One: Can the format keep its

cutting edge?

Max Two: As I said before, more current music is being exposed now than at any time in our recent rock

past. The labels are loving the exposure but, at the same time, complaining about how hard it is to get their baby bands on the air. Again, be ob- jective, and look at the percentage of

unproven, untried and untested music this format is taking chances on.

However, there is a sense, even among some broadcasters, that ev-

erything is starting to sound the same. The same music is being heard on every radio station across the country. Where's the diversity that once characterized this format? Are we in danger of becoming "cor-

porate," like Rock radio at the end of the '70s?

Max One: So, Mr. Nostradamus, how will you measure your success as

Alternative Editor? Max Two: If I can get one of the

following three reactions from people each week, I'll be happy: anger, laughter or "Wow, really? I had no idea!" Of course, an emotional trifec-

ta would not be unappreciated. Max One: What do you mean?

Max Two: "Wow, really? I had no idea" followed by maniacal, angry laughter.

Max One: Finally, many of us are

concerned that you're still the same old

Max - and I don't mean that in a good

way. How do we know you've really

changed? Max Two: Just check the "Old

Max /New Max" chart on this page, and you'll see that I'm a hip new Max for the 21st century. Really. I

swear. Now, I must run, because my phone is ringing, and I can no longer screen- and -deny.

As the only "New Rock" station in town, we take pride in our playlist. 2002 was a great year, but 2003 will be much better. 2002 saw five Talla- hassee bands get signed to major record labels: Socialburn (Elektra), Presence (Curb), New Address (At- lantic), Standstill (Atlantic) and Big Dismissal (Wind -up). o Socialburn's "Down" is in heavy rotation, and

Presence's "Tonz of Fun" is spinning in medium rotation. New Address, Standstill and Big Dismal are all in lighter rotation and will be pushed later in the year. 2003 is going to be a big year for Tallahassee rock. e Other new rock that is really working for us right now is Queens Of The Stone Age's "No One Knows." It sounds tremendous, as do Chevelle's "The Red," Audioslave, Sum 41, Saliva and, of course, the

new Nirvana. o Another song that is reacting very well and setting off the phones is "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. It sounds great and will probably cross over sooner rather than later. 0 Taproot have a lot of potential with "Poem," and I have a lot of faith in "Trust Company." e > So much good rock, so little time to play it all, but our research starts up again next week, and then it will be time to clean house.

It's the battle of the top -10 bullets this week. Hey, no shoving or pushing!

Foo Fighters hold on to No. 1, but there's a pack of wild coyotes nipping at their heels. Out of the top 10 only Sum 41 (Island /IDJMG) ware able to move incrementally 8 -7. The others hold fast to their top 10 status. System Of A Down (American /Columbia) make a nice move 14-11* ... All- American Rejects (DreamWorks) are anything but as they crack the top 20, going 23 -19* ... "Remember" from Disturbed (Reprise) is wasting no time searching for that rarefied air in the upper echelons, and it's nice to see radio staying committed to these guys ... Any doubts about Transplants (Epitaph) being the real deal are swept away this week as they continue to press upward. It's the sign of a true long player, and there were five more big -name adds this week as well, with KPNT/ St. Louis. WLRS /Louisville and WEND /Charlotte among them ... On the Most Added side, it was a huge week for the new Foo Fighters track, Good Charlotte (Epic), Finch (Drive -Thru /MCA) and Burning Brides (V2) - check the chart pages for more.

ARTIST: American Hi -Fi

LABEL: Island / IDJMG By FRANK CORREIA /ROCK SPECIALTY EDITOR

ey've been all over MTV and tour- ed worldwide, but Island rockers

American Hi -Fi have always been in touch with their inner loser. How so? On the group's 2001 lead single, "Flavor of the Weak," frontman Stacy Jones pined away for the girl dating the asshole boyfriend more interested in Nintendo, weed and said girlfriend's best friends. While most musicians fancy themselves as surfer -stoner Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Jones realizes he's merely movie usher Mark Ratner.

While Jones continues to play the suburban underdog on the group's new single, "The Art of Losing," he's got more bite and bash this time out. The title track from the group's forthcoming sophomore effort, due in stores Feb. 25, plays like a collision between Green Day's snotty punk and Adam's Ant's '80s beat - "Rant Music," if you like. Jones even tacks on another '80s reference, name -checking Kim Wilde's "Kids in America." Bored teenagers everywhere can undoubtedly relate to Jones as he rages through the chorus, "One, two, fuck you, don't tell me what to do - I don't want to be like you."

While the group is there for the los- ers, American Hi -Fi have been big winners out of the gate with their latest effort. "The Art of Losing" nailed down 26 adds to beat out The Red Hot Chili Pep- pers last week for the Most Added crown at Alternative.

If the boys sound more confident this time around, chalk it up to time on the road. "Flavor of the Weak" landed them

on many a radio festival, playing along- side everyone from fellow alt rockers to pop acts like Dream, the frustration of which inspired the amped up sound of their followup album. After starting work on The Art of Losing, they hit the road again, this time heading out with Elvis Costello and the coast -to -coast punk festival Vans Warped Tour before journeying to Japan for their own head- lining dates.

Abandoning the album for tour dates was not without its advantages, as Jones returned to the studio with two new songs, one being "The Art of Los- ing." With close to 300 shows under their belts, American Hi -Fi re- entered the studio as a cohesive unit, banging out songs live instead of meddling endless with Pro Tools.

As for the video, they went straight to the people, particularly a group of fans in Hays, KS that the band met and par- tied with after a show. Filmed in said fans' living room, the video for "The Art of Losing" is a genuine party that matches the song's vibe. Spicoli would be proud.

f Record Of The Week ARTIST: Open Hand TITLE: The Dream LABEL: Trustkill

OK class, pay attention. We've got a lot to get caught up

on. Hollywood, CA's Open Hand have been laying down the

smack for three years now with a sound that effortlessly

merges hardcore, emo, punk, rock and so on. Fortunately,

Trustkill has packaged the group's independently released EPs - Radio Days

and Evolution - to give us The Dream, a sonically adventurous escape from

those pop punk poseurs you keep running into during study hall. Need indie

cred? How about tours with Thursday, MxPx, and The Juliana Theory. not to

mention a buttload of underground interest from kids cooler than you? Josh

lsham's vocals - yes, that's right, vocals - are given enough room to breathe

in a garden of lush rhythms and shimmering guitars that push and pull but never

shove.Take a walk down "I I th Street" and the like, and you'll hear what we're

talking about. Still not interested? Detention! - Frank Correia, Rock Specialty Editor

PART TWO OF A TWO -PART SERIES

TRIPLE A R &R January 17, 2003

The Triple A Crystal Ball Industry leaders look forward to what's ahead in 2003

Last week our radio and records comrades shared their hopes and predictions for 2003 with us. This week we continue with more comments.

Jon Petal WRNR/Baltimore

My predictions for 2003 are as fol-

lows: 1) Coldplay will break through to multiple formats. Chris Martin is the rock star of the future. I first realized that at the Boulder Summit, and every indication is that he and they are destined for super - stardom. 2) Jack Johnson will do the same! The number of requests and curiosity calls from women on "Bubble Toes" is ridiculous. 3) The Police will not just reunite for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induc- tions, they will also tour this summer - no inside info, just a wild hunch. 4) Artists who established a

foothold in 2002 and will see strong growth in 2003 include Doves, Zero 7, Flaming Lips, Starsailor and Grey Eye Glances. 5) My marriage to that sexy woman who accompanied me

to Boulder last summer. Prospective wedding reception bands include BR549, Southern Culture On The Skids and The Pietasters.

Meg MacDonald

Michele Clark Promotion

Personal hopes: No matter how any given day is going, I hope that I never lose sight of the big picture in

my life: a most wonderful and amazing family, a beautiful home, a

job I love and the good health of

friends and family. For those who have lost someone or are kept apart from loved ones during the conflicts in the Middle East, I hope they find strength and peace knowing they are in our thoughts. For those serving overseas, I hope that they know they have the eternal gratitude of

those of us whose lives, for the most part, may have been inconve- nienced, but are largely unchanged. And I hope that I become allergic to cigarettes and chocolate.

Professional hopes: that we all

come out on the other side of 2002's

changes a stronger format, and that none of us forget the thrill of breaking an artist, so both labels and ra-

dio will continue to take chances with talented new acts.

Professional predictions: that Sunset Sessions will once again unearth the next Five For Fight-

ing, Susan Tedeschi or Pete Yorn.

Dave Morrell

Red Ink

With the glut of big artists in the last quarter of 2002, it's now time to

open our ears, live the music, find something new and pass it on. We

need to continue to find new blood. Look at the success of Johnny A and Chuck Prophet last year. They were two of the standout performances at the Michele

Clark Sunset Sessions. And I remember listening to WXRT /Chicago's Norm Winer tell a room full of us music junkies at the Boulder Summit how he put the Dinah Wash- ington track from Verve

Remixed on and the phones lit up. He was passing it on. I look forward to the great new music my ears have yet to hear in 2003.

Jenn Lanchart

Beggars Group

Dunno 'bout the predictions, but I certainly hope that Beggars Group and Matador releases will have an impact on the Triple A format as a

whole. We're putting out some su-

per -strong records in 2003, like, The

Delgados, Cat Power, Aereogramme and more. That's a lot to hope for, but I'm an optimist. Happy New Year!

Todd Berryman

WTTS /Indianapolis Maybe I'm just blue- skying here,

but I think Michael Jackson might do something crazy in 2003. Actually,

I'm hoping that the members of The

Police bury the hatchet and consider the comeback tour and album thing after the Hall of Fame ceremony. It'd be a nice shot in the arm for the in-

dustry. Imagine the fourth quarter!

Jiff Skims

Pyramid I'm personally looking forward to

a special year. My life has been up and down, and now I am focused on the future. I hope the recording in-

dustry finally gets a handle on the

spend- for -all- the -airplay model that is currently necessary to break a

band. I am very curious to see how the different radio chains are going to handle the spending on their sta-

tions now that some have committed to help stop the enormous spending. Will they stick to their new policies, or go back to where we started? I would like to see relationships mean something again.

Dana Marshall

WXRV /Boston

I have learned over the years that predictions should be left to the professionals! I would love nothing more than to predict that the world

would find peace and that there would be an end to violence, disease, hunger and hate. Sadly, "People are crazy and times are strange" (Dylan,

of course).

I can hope and pray for

my predictions, and while I wait for such a

miracle, I can approach every day with grace, hard as it may be sometimes. I can go out of my way to be kind and generous to

those I come in contact with. I can

get lost in a beautiful melody, I can be inspired by an artist's lyrics, and I can pass those wonderful discov- enes on to those whose lives I touch each day through radio.

On another level, I believe the competitive side of radio will prove to be an interesting one next year.

Radio, record companies and everyone who works in this industry are

experiencing incredible change. I

also believe the artists who have been nurtured as infants in this for-

mat will spread their wings and soar to incredible heights.

On a very personal level, I will con-

tinue to believe that the universe will

deliver what I need. Success and hap- piness to all my friends in music in the new year - and great ratings!

Ira Gordon

KBAC /Albuquerque- Santa Fe

Dana M arshall

I'd like to see more stations come under the Triple A umbrella. I think it's a shame that there are still major markets without a commercial outlet, such as Los Angeles, Phoenix

and Atlanta. There are so many tal-

ented women in the format, and I

would like to see them get a chance at some of the prime openings in

larger markets that come up in the next two years. Plus, will someone please hire the exceptional Rene Magallon already (ragallon @earth

link.net)! I'd also like to see more work for older promo veterans like

Dick Merkle and Michael Brannon out of Denver.

I would also enjoy seeing KBAC

move off the Indicator panel and become monitored as our track record in Albuquerque warrants it

in the coming year. Actually, how about a chart for Triple A's and an-

other for stations, regardless of market size, that are classified as Triple

A's but are actually more "Mod- ern" /Alternative hybrids?

I would also like to see more jun- kets for smaller- market radio folk to

see the big acts that pass us by (Clap -

ton, McCartney, The Rolling Stones,

etc.). Finally, let me pass on good wish-

es to all stations still fighting the good fight in the coming year and a

hearty thank you to all the labels and indies that have taken such good care of us the past 365.

Michele Clark

Michele Clark Promotions Hopes and predictions for 2003? I

hope everyone stays happy and healthy I hope that people will buy more CDs in 2003. I hope labels, in-

dies and radio will stop the pissing matches and play nice again. I hope we don't have to go to war. I hope I

get skinny. I predict that the American peo-

ple will continue to gravitate toward meaningful adult records. I predict John Eddie's Lost Highway debut will be a tremendous success. I predict that Triple A radio will break even more artists than we did in

2002. I predict our most successful

Sunset Sessions ever in February. I

predict that John Schoenberger will

get a new tattoo.

Keith Cunningham

Media Positioning 1 feel that Triple A can grow its rat-

ings in 2003, despite competition be-

ing at its peak. Triple A has always focused on the musical war, but the format must now focus on the business and relationship wars. No

one has more confidence in

the Triple A format than the

folks at Hot AC. The Hot AC chart continues to look

more and more like the Tri-

ple A chart, and, thanks to

intensive crossover marketing campaigns from the labels, "Modem" and Alternative sta-

tion are also bigger competitors than they've ever been.

That's a lethal combination that leaves Triple A severely outnum- bered in many markets, and it's leading to an erosion of national support for the format. We're see-

ing fewer Triple -A -only artists signed or supported by the labels,

and therefore promotional support is diminishing.

Triple A has important work to do in 2003. Effectively establishing, owning and protecting artists; sticking with records longer and playing them more often; implementing se-

rious positioning strategies; and doing better business on every level have never been more important. Make no mistake about it, a sense of

urgency is needed. "Game on," and Triple A can't afford to lose many battles in 2003.

Patty Morris

Lost Highway

My hopes for the new year? To

live every day like my first and my last: my first with awe and wonder, as if it's the first time I am experiencing things, my last as if I may never do them again.

Michael Dean

KTAO/Taos -Santa Fe, NM

I feel that the Triple A community will continue to benefit from Al-

ternative radio blowing off so many artists, the likes of Dave Matthews, Alanis Morissette, Garbage, Sheryl

Crow, Indigo Girls, Jewel and so on.

(Do you remember when these artists were played on Alternative ?) We

will also enjoy owning such artists as Susan Tedeschi, Norah Jones and Melissa Etheridge.

I also believe that many new (young) listeners will discover Tri-

ple A this year and that the listeners we already have will continue to

enjoy what our format brings to the radio dial: a true variety of music.

A happy and prosperous new year to all!

Lesa Withanee

WRNX/Springfield, MA

My hope for the upcoming year is to attend a Creed concert with Benson from KFOG /San Francisco ... front row ... rockin' the house.

Norma Manzanares

DreamWorks Records

We begin the new year with East -

mountainsouth's first release. Dis-

covered by one of the premier artist - songwriters of the rock era, Robbie

Robertson, Eastmoun- tainsouth is Peter Adams and Kat Maslich. Their sound is both contemporary and traditional, mix-

ing timeless Americana with modern grooves. I

look forward to sharing this project with the Tri-

ple A community, in addition to our acts crossing over from the Alternative

format and a new project from Eels.

As the largest generation of kids in 30 years grows into adulthood, I

believe that the Triple A format will

expand and flourish, offering a re-

freshing alternative to fabricated music. These new listeners will dis-

cover the exceptional music and dedicated programming that the Tri-

ple A format has to offer.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year!

TRIPLE

In the late '90s there seemed to be a

decline in the so- called "alternative music scene." The wave of Seattle- and L.A. -based bands was losing its popularity in the mainstream. What the audience wanted were bands that exem- plified the tiimes. Around 1998 the economy was booming, the nation was actually coming to grips with the national debt, and things looked bright. The audience didn't want to focus on

the bad stuf that grunge was teaching them; they wanted more lighthearted rock. All of a sudden bands like Collective Soul, Fuel, Matchbox 20 and 3 Doors Down came to be rock's new leaders. Of them all, Matchbox 20 have proven to be real hitmakers. For their new release Rob Thomas had so much pressure on him to follow up the Santana collaboration "Smooth" that he made Serpico seem relaxed. Now the band have released "Disease" from More Than You Think You

Are. Clearly, Thomas has lived up to the pressure by trusting his pop formula to ensure him another hit. "Disease" is like its title implies: It's infectious, and it will not leave your head after the first time you hear it. Matchbox 20 is a strong example of a rock band that knows how to please its audience with catchy hooks and strong guitar riffs.

Aßrsr OF THE WEEK

ARTIST: George Harrison

LABEL: Capitol By JOHN SCHOENBERGER / TRIPLE A EDITOR

It is often said that for a person to be spiritual, he or she must walk like they

talk. Well, if that is a qualification (and I believe it's one of the best), George Harrison was truly a spiritual man. For most of his adult life he never wavered from his dedication to personal integrity or his faith. Furthermore, Harrison, via his notoriety. served as a wonderful example of the right way for a human being to act. And even though most of us will never know, I'd bet my last dollar he, more than most, was fully prepared when he passed over from this life.

Thank God Harrison left us mere mor- tals a gift with his posthumously released Brainwashed. Certainly, it can be considered one of his best records. The guitar playing displays all that made his style so unique and influential, and the songs are concise and flowing. But what truly make this album so special are the lyrics. They reflect thoughts and questions Harrison has pondered most of his life, yet carry much more weight and meaning in light of the fact that they were written with the knowledge that death was close to his door.

It's common knowledge that the album wasn't completed before his death, but the spirit and genius of Harrison clearly live in the grooves. It was finished by his 24- year -old son, Dhani, and his best friend, Jeff Lynne. Many of the basics were already on tape, and George's wishes for the direction he wanted for the album were well known by the two.

"I'd been talking to George for the past couple years about finishing these songs," Lynne says. "He said, Ì'd like you to fin-

ish them for me.' Dhani had worked closely with George since the beginning on all the songs, too, so he also had a clear understanding as to what his father's wishes were."

"The album was always going to be finished this way, with Jeff helping my dad and me with the final production," says Dhani. "We just stuck to the plan, except that my dad died, which made our job more difficult. But when we were in the studio, we felt his presence, and that made it easier."

In spite of the fact that much of the album was fleshed out after Harrison's passing in November of 2001, it is 100% a George Harrison album. Whether he is sharing some of his private thoughts with us via "P2 Vatican," "Looking for My Life" and "Never Get Over You" or sharing some insight from his spiritual quest in "Any Road," "Stuck Inside a Cloud" or the title track, Harrison remained true to his mandate for living life to the fullest to the very end.

If we are smart, we will listen to what Harrison has to say, and perhaps it will cause us to pause a little more often before we speak or act and ask to the question of ourselves, "What would George have done ?"

Missouri's Christian Music Champion Spirit FM network has a unique way of doing radio that works

c amdenton, MO isn't the largest town in America, but Jim McDermott and his Camdenton -based staff are taking Missouri by storm with the Spirit FM network. Now six stations strong, the network concentrates on keeping things simple while going beyond the call of duty to help a small- market group of stations impact their communities and beyond.

Spirit FM's flagship frequency, KCVO, had a start not unlike those of

many Christian radio stations that began broadcasting in the '80s. "We had a 60/40 mix

of music and talk and an all- over -the -road musical format, but so did a lot of stations back then," PD Mc- Dermott explains. "Our goal was simply to provide Christian radio to central Missouri, which had nothing at the time.

"Fortunately, I quickly got involved with the National Chris- tian Radio Seminar and the Gospel Music Association and learned how to

focus our programming. But, in reali-

ty, that's still an ongoing process. We're constantly hying to figure out how and why our listeners actually listen and how we can deliver what they expect.

"We started with just the KCVO fre-

quency at 3kw. In 1988 we started adding translators, which helped us reach

more communities. Eventually, we put 11 of them on the air; now we're down to six. We changed frequencies at

KCVO and increased to 18kw in 1991, which helped us cover our home market of Lake of the Ozarks a lot better.

"We also saw that we could better serve our trans-

lator listeners by upgrading to full -power FMs. So our second station, KCVQ/ Knob Noster, MO went live in 1997. We purchased

KCVJ /Oscola, MO after that. We're now building number five, KCVZ / Dix-

on, MO and have a construction permit to build another next summer.

"What this means is that we reach a

lot of small towns in between the main metro areas of Missouri. I believe we are able to tie them all together by the

inclusiveness of our promotions. For

example, when we did a pastor -appre- ciation promotion in October, we gave

a fall- foliage cruise on the lake and picked winning pastors from each major coverage area. No matter where they listen throughout the state, peo-

ple think of us as Spirit FM, their Chris- tian radio station."

Personalities Plus

One of Spirit FM's big priorities is

having a quality lineup of jocks on the air not just during mornings, but throughout the entire day. "No matter what size market you are in, I truly believe you have to make the effort

to get good on -air talent," McDermott says. "It has to be a priority. When you have personalities that your listeners love, everything else you do - be it

promotions, sales or fundraising - will be a whole lot more effective."

Another key is keeping it real. "How we come across on -air is how we are in the grocery store or at the football game," McDermott says. "How do I

find great people in rural Missouri? I

look for people other people gravitate toward. I figure that the person everyone wants as their friend in church will

usually be a person people want to

tune in and listen to on the radio. "Being in a small market, we train

just about everyone ourselves. I have no reservations in saying that my staff is just as good as any other in my cov-

erage area and actually far better than most."

When it comes to picking songs, McDermott and his Music Director have a unique process. "The main music qualifier we use is to listen to a

song and ask, 'Is this a song that I be-

lieve we will be playing five years from now ?" McDermott says. "More than anything else, that one question decides what makes it on the air at

Spirit FM."

Don't Slack Off

With the huge growth Christian mu-

sic has experienced over the past de-

cade, it's easy to recognize that Chris-

tian radio has been a major player in the

process. Right now there are a lot of

great people doing great radio at vari-

ous networks and formats nationwide. McDermott believes that it's possi-

ble to continue to grow the genre and to program a super Christian radio station. "It is possible, if you don't make excuses," he says. "If you don't have a song that should be on your playlist, go buy it. If you only have a

couple of hours of music per day,

make them the best and most popu-

lar hours on the station. If the boss' wife doesn't like your song picks, try

to show her how much the listeners like them. Fight the temptation to pro-

gram for the board of directors." Even with Christian radio's present

success, McDermott feels compelled to bring up two areas for immediate attention. "First, avoid the temptation to slack off after the morning show,"

he says. "Who says that midday lis-

teners don't like personality? Why can't afternoon drive be as fun as morning drive? An evening announc- er who connects with listeners can and will affect the bottom line positively.

"Secondly, we need to get more fo-

cused. I know we've all heard this, but are we really doing it? I challenge any PD to listen to a whole day of their own station and count the number of

unfocused and badly targeted programs, comments, commercials, PSAs

or anything else that's on the air just because it's always been there."

Care Packages

One thing that sets Spirit FM apart from its counterparts is its concerted effort to get listeners thinking about the community as a whole. Last year the network's promotional highlight was Send a Valentine Care Package to

a Soldier in Afghanistan. "We worked with the Red Cross

office at Fort Leonard Wood, and our listeners brought in valentines, letters

of encouragement, candy, toiletries, paper and pens for the soldiers," Mc-

Dermott says. "We received so much stuff! It took our staff and several vol-

unteers three days to put it all in

little plastic care packages. "Then we loaded it all into our sta-

tion van and two pickups and took it

to Fort Wood. It came to almost 1,300

pounds in 41 boxes. We received lo-

cal TV coverage and made the front

page in two area newspapers. "The cool part was getting the

thank -you e -mails from the soldiers in

Kandahar and Kabul. After getting word that the schools that were re-

opening in Afghanistan had no paper or pencils, we followed up in Septem- ber by collecting boxes of school sup-

plies for the Afghan children. We did this all in an effort to help the Afghan children receive love from America with no strings attached."

On -Air Prayer

A new element of the contempo-

rary phase of Christian radio programming is the inclusion of on -air

prayer. Many stations do it on a small scale, but the Spirit FM network goes

the extra mile. "Back in 1988 we had a listener who wanted to buy an hour of airtime to play a 20- minute message on prayer," McDermott says.

"She then invited people to call in

for intercessory prayer. She asked her pastor and his wife to man the phones.

Even though we probably cumed less

than 5,000 per week at the time, we wound up praying with people for

nearly two hours. "Since that day over 14 years ago

we have had a volunteer from that church praying with people every Wednesday from 10 -ham. To clarify,

we don't do intercessory prayer on the

air; we just mention that it is available each week at that time. In addition, our staff takes prayer requests every day, and we pray for them on -air at

5:45pm and at 10:30pm.

"Most weeks we get more than we

can possibly pray for during our lim-

ited on -air blocks. We keep all the re-

quests, plus those that come in through the mail, and volunteers come in and take the time to pray for

everyone. We work hard to keep any requests from falling through the cracks. We even built a prayer room dedicated to our former Promotions Director, Julie Walton, who died last year of meningitis."

The Big Finish

McDermott and Spirit FM have shown what it means to get the job

done, with excellence, in a small -market situation. McDermott shares some closing thoughts directed at the small

broadcaster: "Keep doing what it takes to be excellent. I know it's not easy when you are small. Our total monthly budget was under $6,500 for

the first three years of operation. We

only had two full -time employees until six years ago.

"I never let our smallness keep me

from trying to make KCVO sound bet-

ter than anything else on the dial. Hard work will pay off. God has blessed us, and our budget has grown from $20,000 to $35,000 a month in the last four years. But even with a bigger budget and six stations, we plan to keep on playing great songs, being real to the listeners and giving them more of what we call the truly good stuff."

Chris Rice's Run... Set For March 4 Rocketown artist says project is a retreat from earlier efforts

hough few would describe Chris Rice's fourth studio album for Rocketown Records as "light," the artist who on previous albums has pondered the sover- eignty of Christ, explored the elusiveness of God and encouraged us to think of our lives as blank journal pages is calling his new project a "retreat of sorts."

Run the Earth and Watch 11w Ski (the title is taken from a line in the

album's third track, "Non - ny Nonny ") represents another side of him as a

songwriter and a human

being, Rice says.

Fle explains, "There are

and Smell the Color ,Nine. But, as

Rice says, "There's still meat." And that's not surprising, espe-

cially knowing his atypical ap-

proach to songwriting. Unlike most

artists, who scribble song ideas and

lyrics on napkins and in journals throughout the year, Rice begins

writing songs only three months before hitting the studio. Addition- ally, he pens his words with an un-

usual audience in mind: unbelievers.

"We're doing a lousy job of mak-

ing our faith make sense to the

world," Rice says. "So if an unbeliev-

er is going to hear my music, I want

it to make sense to him. When I'm writing songs, I envision a philosoph-

ical doctor of atheism standing out-

side the door, listening to what I'm singing. Even though that professor

may not agree with nie, he may walk

away saying, 'But he made sense and

talked to me, not down to me.- "Smile" exemplifies that ap-

proach as Rice talks about heaven

in a way he hopes will appeal to a

mentality that isn't necessarily go-

ing to appreciate streets of gold, pearly gates and angels. "That's not

an attractive picture for them," Rice

says. "But the picture that says

there's a longing to he connected to

God, and one day I'm going to ac-

tually stop imagining what Ile looks

like and get to see Iiim smile - that

approaches the same concept of longing for eternity but speaks it for

a ditl'erent generation." On his upcoming 35 -city spring

tour Rice says he plans to spend a lot

of time motivating his audiences to

"be in the real world instead of hid-

ing from it." Alluding to a lyric in the

album's "Me and Becky," he says,

"We've got to go for a ride outside

our little comfort areas and really

become connected to the world." Rice says, "My role in life is to

reach a whole spectrum of people

with a whole spectrum of levels of faith. We have a message for those

people, and as long as we keep

preaching it to Christians, the world isn't hearing it. That's why I want-

ed to do another record." - Lindy Warren

The Building Blocks Of Radio Getting to know small -market stations in Spanish - language radio

Small-market stations are dio, and that's even more tru dio. For Spanish -language more to do with the size of lation, which can be small butions of these stations tc

and to the communities they lenges, are unique.

To get a glimpse into their world, where serving the Hispan- ic community becomes almost a

personal mission, we posed three questions to several small- market program directors: XQFX /Am- arillo, TX's Israel Salaz- ar; KQVO/ Calexico, CAsDavidFu- entes; KWLN / Wen a tchee, WA's José L.

High; and WMGC / Nashville's Juan Armenta.

Israel Salazar

R &R: What is your station's greatest contribution to Spanish -language radio and to your listeners?

IS: We have to give our listeners the best music, the hits. We must know our market very closely - where they come from, the regions they're from, etc. In a small city like ours, where people

"Why not give small -

market radio

listeners a good

station, just as the

large markets do ?" Israel Salazar

come to work and where people come primarily from small towns in Mexico, we help them adapt, and part of that process is to give them a bit of the music they long for.

On the other hand, small mar-

the building blocks of ra- e in Spanish -language ra- adio, "small market" has the area's Hispanic popu- n large cities. The contri- Spanish- language radio

serve, as well as their chal-

kets also create hits. Our listeners create hits. Why not give small - market radio listeners a good station, just as the large markets do? j4Nhy not make our stations sound

s strong? We must. DF: Although Calexico looks

ike a small market, it really isn't. e reach four states, two in the .S. and two in Mexico: Southeast alifornia, Southwest Arizona, an Luis in Sonora and Mexicali in aja California. Mexicali's popula-

tion is over 1 million. Because we're in a border city where we experience a daily series of problems, our biggest contribution is the guidance we g:ve our listeners.

e get very involved with our ommunities. We help them with

:Il sorts of social issues. We bring n political leaders, immigration xperts, etc.

In terms of music, we are a Pop tation that doesn't program any ind of music with obscenities or arcotics- trafficking [narco- corri-

'os] lyrics. To promote these songs a border city is to promote neg-

tivity. JLH: Our contributions have

'een numerous. When I arrived in he state of Washington about ight years ago, all the Spanish - anguage media that existed was n AM station and a biweekly ewspaper. When this station

pened, we brought news and vents from Mexico to the commu- ity. We bring them relevant news rom other states in the U.S. and ews of what's happening on the .5.- Mexico border. KWLN reaches three counties about 20 -25 cities - and we're

the bridge between them. Our listeners are small -town folks who eft their country and who now

themselves completely cut off rom what they knew, and we

keep them informed. At the same time, the station is allowing the American community to get to know and understand us.

Our station is American -owned. In fact, all the stations in the area are American- owned. At this point, there are about seven Spanish - language stations in the area, which tells us that the American community is acknowledging the potential of

Spanish- language radio. JA: We've been on the air for 11

years, and we've seen the growth of the Hispanic population in Nashville. Although this is considered a small market, we estimate that we reach about 250,000 Hispan- ics. We're very close to our community. We help them raise funds when a loved one pass- es and the family doesn't have the means to take care of the ex-

can stations reach U.S. border cities and their advertising rates are so low, businesses cross the border and place their advertising with them. We compete with 25 Mexi- can stations. It's a rate war.

JLH: Our biggest challenge is to bring the station to a level where it can compete with the American stations in the area. We want to be acknowledged and let it be known that Spanish- language radio is just as important and professional as any other.

JA: Most of what we do is done locally, so our biggest challenge is working out all the promotions we do without much outside help. We

find that when we call a company for their support, they may give it to us, but it's very limited. Many of them don't really know our market - the size, the number of people they can reach. People who are aware of the growth in the market realize that it isn't that small.

R &R: In terms of making your job

easier, what is an advantage a small - market station lacks?

IS: I'd like the big -name artists, like Juan Gabriel, to come to our market. They usually don't. The ones who do come usually don't give the same show here that they do in c'ties like San Antonio or

Houston. The record companies don't invest in us as much as they do in large markets.

DF: We need support from the record companies. If they took care of all stations equally, without looking at the size of the market, it would make our job eas-

ier. Many of the labels don't pay attention to us. We have to call them again and again, and they won't even send us the singles we ask for. They concentrate on large markets. They call us and ask us if we're a BDS reporter, and if

penses and they have no Juan Armenta

one else to turn to. We help schools in whatever ways we can, we offer help to people looking for jobs, etc. Because we were the first Spanish -language station in the area and have maintained a leadership position, we try to help the community as much as we can.

Musically, we've also grown a

lot. Last year we introduced a new Pop station, so now we cater to the Regional Mexican listener as well as the Contemporary.

R &R: What is the biggest challenge a small- market station faces?

IS: I can't complain about the service we get from the record companies, because they do take care of us. Our community buys a lot of records. I think my biggest challenge is to do the best job I can for my listeners.

DF: Our biggest challenge is competing with the Mexican stations' advertising rates. Radio groups in Mexico usually own 10

or more radio stations, plus TV stations, and offer advertising packages at very low rates. Al- though our station has a large audience - primarily because we do very little talking on the air and we play all the hits - because Mexi-

we're not, they never speak to us again. It's incredible that they see it that way, especially for a border station, because the huge numbers of people waiting two or three hours to cross the border are listening to us while they wait.

JLH: It's been a year since we opened the station, and if we had the same equipment that the American stations do, our job would be much easier. We've come a long way since the time of the AM, and we're getting there little by little. It would also be

"Although Calexico

looks like a small

market, it really

isn't. We reach four

states." David Fuentes

great if the company would expand its operation and access in Spanish -language radio.

On the other hand, we need support from the labels. They usually concentrate on the large markets, looking to sell a million copies right away. If they took a

look at the money they spend with the large stations and at the results, they would see things dif- ferently.

JA: We need more support from the record labels. That would make our job much easier. We

wouldn't have to struggle so much to do our promotions. We need promotional material and better and faster access to the artists. And the labels need to support us with the right amount of material, because we're not as small a market as they think.

A SAD GOODBYE But not for long. Zuleika Déciga (c) is seen here with a

few of her faithful listeners as she says goodbye to her rock show, Rock

Radical, which aired on KKMD/Seattle. Déciga is taking a year off but promises

to bring her show back.

News Colombian rocker Juanes took home three Amigo awards in

Spain. Best Latin Album, Best Male Latin Artist and Best New

Artist were awarded to Juanes, who competed against the likes

of Shakira, Maná and Diego Torres.

The ceremony took place in Madrid, where a total of 17

awards were handed out. Other winners were Las Ketchup for

Best New Female Artist and Best Group, Bruce Springsteen for

Best International Artist and Best International Album, Marta Sánchez for Best Female

Artist, Estopa for Best Spanish Group and Maná for Best Mexican Group.

Nominees for Premios Amigo are voted on by the Record and

Video Association of Spain (Asociación Fonográfica y Videográfica

de España).

Paulina Rubio starts the year strong, with a TV commercial

she did with Celia Cruz for Dr. Pepper. "Working with a legend

like Celia is an honor," said Rubio. "She's so jovial and always

with her husband by her side."

Rubio is now in Spain rehearsing with the band Furia for her upcoming tour. About

the tour, Rubio said her concerts will have no dull moments. "It will not be your

typical light and sound show," she said. "It will have a Broadway -like vibe that will

combine dance and acrobats."

E

any in his career Sherman Kizart witnessed firsthand the power of Urban radio, and he has become one of its strongest advocates. As VP & Director /Urban Marketing for Interep, Kizart is the company's expert on Urban radio, spearheads Interep's commitment to diversity both internally and externally and advises advertisers on how to include Urban radio in their advertising plans.

Getting into the business: "I had a

childhood friend, Douglas Johnson, who's currently a member of the sales staff at Clear Channel's WDIA /Memphis. He encouraged me to get into the business. After I graduated from college, I started working at a station in my hometown, Cleveland, MS. The

experience that really led me to this business was something that demonstrated what I call the power of Urban radio. There's a town near Cleveland, Mt. Bayou, MS. Ws the oldest African- American municipality in the country. It was facing financial ruin and bankruptcy, and WDIA started a campaign to save it. The station raised almost $250,000, and I had an opportunity to see that firsthand. That's truly the power of radio, specifically Urban radio: its ability to make a difference."

Joining Interep: "I went to Memphis and worked for WLOK -AM, a Gospel standalone. Not long after that I

became GSM of what is now KJMS, one of the dominant Urban stations in that marketplace. I was there for about three years. From Memphis, I went down to New Orleans, where I was part of the Clear Channel Urban duopoly there. I came to work at Interep in 1996 from Hawes -

Saunders Broadcasting's Urban combo in Cleveland, where I was Director /Sales. rd been a client of Interep for a number of years, and there was an opportunity to do all

the things I'd done locally on a national stage. In 1998 I

was promoted to VP /Marketing." His responsibilities: "I'm focused in a number of

areas, from developing new business to calling on national marketers such as Toyota, which, incidentally is

in the middle of one of the most comprehensive ethnic marketing campaigns in the country. Last year Toyota made a commitment to invest $150 million in ethnic marketing, and radio's a major part of that. I work with national marketers, espousing the value of the African- American marketplace and African Americans' relationship with Urban radio.

"I also focus on turning around no -Urban dictates, where national marketers or their agencies choose to exclude Urban or black- formatted stations from their marketing mix. rm also involved in solicitation, working specifically with broadcasters to get them to become Interep clients. Again, my focus is working with minority broadcasters and Urban- focused brands. An important part is communicating Interep's commitment to diversity. That's done by virtue of my visibility and my speaking on

88 R &R January 17, 2003

SHERMAN KIZART VP & Director /Urban Marketing, Interep

different panels and serving as a liaison between Interep and anyone from Rainbow /PUSH, the Urban League, the NAACP and different broadcast trade associations, like the NAB and RAB."

Biggest challenges: "The ongoing effort to educate national marketers and their agencies on the economic viability of the $600 billion African- American marketplace and getting those marketers and agencies to understand that the best way to target the African - American market is Urban radio. There are some agencies that continue to exclude Urban radio and African- American consumers from their marketing plans. They're

missing out on a huge opportunity." How it's going: "There's been significant progress,

and Interep's certainly been at the forefront of helping to

bring that about. Progress is best measured by looking at the power ratios that Urban radio has experienced over

the past decade. A power ratio is a percentage of revenue in relation to the station's audience share. Ten years ago

the average power ratio for Urban radio was about a .74. It's currently about a .93. It is a measure of progress, but it still reflects that there's a lot of work to do, in terms of

Urban getting its fair share of the dollars." Relaunching Interep's Power of Urban Radio

initiative: "The Power of Urban Radio, which is being held on Feb. 13, is a daylong symposium where Interep is

bringing together the country's leading national marketers, advertising agencies and broadcasters. The

focus is on getting national marketers and their agencies to understand the opportunities in the $600 billion African- American marketplace. That's where it begins, and then it segues into why Urban radio is the most unique and strongest vehicle for tapping that marketplace.

"Toyota signed an $8 billion diversity initiative last year. That money includes about $150 million that is

targeted specifically to African- American consumers. Toyota used the Power of Urban Radio symposium as a

platform to launch that initiative. Everyone comes together to discuss effective target -marketing strategies and how Urban radio fits. It's free to advertisers and agencies; broadcasters pay.

"One of the things we've added to this years symposium is a CEO /C00 roundtable consisting of some of

the leading broadcast groups: Jeff Smulyan of Emmis, Lew

Dickey of Cumulus, Charles Warfield of Inner City Broadcasting, Mary Catherine Sneed of Radio One and several others. People will hear their perspectives on why these companies have significant investments in Urban radio and what they're doing to bring value to their advertisers and marketers. Bill Lamar, the Chief Marketing Officer of McDonald's, is going to deliver the keynote. Bill

is one of the first African Americans to hold that type of

corporate marketing position in the country." State of radio: "As Dickens said, it's the best of

times, and it's the worst of times. Certainly, consolidation has created terrific opportunities for large entities to consolidate their power and build super platforms. The

worst of times is reflected in minority ownership and the diversity of our industry. With consolidation, the number of minority owners has decreased dramatically. Some have cashed out, and some have not been able to compete with the mega -operators. There will be another round of

consolidation, with the elimination of the cross - ownership barriers and those kinds of things, but I'm

hopeful, and there is some dialogue in Washington that, as the next wave of consolidation takes place, there will

be remedies to address the ownership -diversity issues." State of Urban radio: "As different companies have

put together these clusters, Urban is being sold as part of

a cluster that may include a Rock station or a Smooth Jazz station or other different brands. That has certainly helped bring about greater buyer acceptance. It's one of

the things that has enabled the power ratios to increase.

By Erica Farber

There's been greater advertiser and buyer acceptance of Urban radio as a brand with consolidation. That has certainly been a plus."

Something about Interep that might surprise our readers: "How committed our company is to Urban radio in general and to the entire diversity picture. Ralph Guild

was the first in this industry to accept and aggressively go after Urban stations in terms of representation. There's a track record, and that record continues. It's that commitment that allows me to go out and aggressively address no -Urban dictates and aggressively communicate Interep's commitment to diversity, minority broadcasters and Urban radio."

Most influential individual: "The first would certainly be Ralph Guild. He has remarkable vision in this industry, unlike anyone rve ever seen. He embraced Urban radio over 30 years ago, when no one else wanted to. He gives me the free rein and the resources to continue to try to make a difference. The second would be Lowry Mays. I worked for Clear Channel before the Telecom Act. At that time Clear Channel was a small company, maybe 12 or 13 stations. It wasn't uncommon for Lowry to come into the market once or twice a year. He would meet individually and collectively with everyone on the staff.

"ill never forget one conversation. Fourteen years ago Lowry had a vision that Clear Channel could be the mega -entity that it is today. He envisioned that Clear

Channel would own all the different companies that it owns today, particularly the ones that were holders of

Urban radio stations. When he talked about that vision, knowing that there were laws that prohibited such things, it seems so far- fetched. I continue to have tremendous admiration and respect for him because he truly is a visionary."

Career highlight: "Having an opportunity to be a

major contributor to the FCC's 'When Number One Is Not Enough' study, in 1999. They commissioned this study to address discriminatory air practices. The result led to the president signing an order that made it illegal for ad agencies getting government contracts to implement no- Urban dictates. Another was winning a Radio Wayne

Award and having Wayne Cornils around to give it to me

personally. I'm looking at it now, and it still has great meaning. To get it and know what it means and to have the namesake give it to me and share in it was pretty special. And the privilege of being named to Interep's Chairman's Circle twice in the seven years I've been with the company is very gratifying."

Career disappointment: "I've been too blessed to reflect on disappointments. There are probably a couple of national marketers I haven't been able to convince of

the value of targeting African Americans and using Urban radio. They serve as motivation for me to do my

job a little better." Favorite radio format "Urban." Favorite television show: "Sanford & Son. I know

the episodes so well; I know the lines better than the actors."

Favorite artist: "Luther Vandross." Favorite book: "Coming of Age in Mississippi by Ann

Moody." Favorite restaurant: "La Somanna, on the French

side of St. Martin. The most incredible dining experience you'll ever have."

Beverage of choice: "Diet Coke and water." Hobbies: "Tennis is my passion." E -mail address: "sherman_kizart®interep.com." Advice for broadcasters: "From a marketing

perspective, the most successful people in the industry are true marketers. Those who are marketing our industry with passion and who are client- focused and client -driven are the ones who will continue to be

successful."
